On Friday at about 11:30 a.m. near Annona, Texas, a head-on collision resulted in a fire that killed eight people, including a mother and her three children, reports USA Today.
A rented Chevrolet Malibu headed east on U.S. 82 crossed the center line and struck a westbound Chrysler 300 carrying the 29-year-old Annona mother and her three children, ages 8, 6, and 10 months, according to the Houston Chronicle.
A passerby came upon the burning wreck in Annona, which happened about 150 miles northeast of Dallas. Annona is a town of fewer than 300 people.
The Chevrolet was rented in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by two men, ages 25 and 24, from Compton, California, who died along with two women, ages 19 and 21, in their car. One of the women was also from Compton; the other was from Long Beach, California.
It was unclear who was driving at the time of the collision, why it crossed the center line, or why both cars burst into flames.
