Death of Sandia resident in fatal head-on crash on FM 738

A tragic incident on FM 738 resulted in the unfortunate death of a 71-year-old Sandia man following a head-on collision last Thursday. The collision occurred when Ramon Reyes attempted to pass another vehicle in the opposite traffic lane. According to Texas Department of Public Safety Staff Sergeant Rob Mallory, the collision took place at approximately 4:15 PM on August 21st. Estrada, driving a 1998 Chevrolet pickup, attempted to pass a vehicle in the northbound lane when a collision with a 2002 Ford F-150 driven by 66-year-old Humberto Ramon occurred. Despite efforts to avoid the collision, the F-150 struck the Chevrolet, resulting in severe injuries for Estrada. Unfortunately, he succumbed to his injuries shortly after 5:00 p.m. while being treated at Christus Spohn Hospital in Alice. The investigation is ongoing by Troopers from the Alice Highway Patrol Office to determine the factors contributing to the collision.
