Tragedy struck in East El Paso early Sunday morning when a vehicle crash claimed the life of one individual. As reported by KVIA, the incident occurred shortly before 2:45 a.m. at the intersection of Edgemere Boulevard and War Arrow Place, mere blocks away from Pebble Hills Elementary School.
The identity of the person who died has not been released, and details surrounding the cause of the crash are still under investigation by the Special Traffic Investigators, as KTSM reports that this is one of several serious crashes to have taken place over the weekend. A collision late Friday night at Gateway North and Sun Valley resulted in two people being injured, one of them critically.
According to KFOX-TV, the call about the East El Paso accident came in at 2:44 a.m., highlighting the prompt response by authorities. In addition to the fatality, fire dispatch reported that another person involved in the Sunday morning collision sustained non-critical injuries and received transportation to a local hospital.
As the community awaits more information, the El Paso Police Department has remained tight-lipped about how many vehicles were involved or what may have led up to the crash. The Special Traffic Investigations Unit, tasked with responding to such serious or fatal incidents, is diligently piecing together the chain of events. This is indeed a developing story, and updates are expected as the investigation unfolds further.
