A Sunday traffic incident in East El Paso has sadly culminated in the death of a 90-year-old woman. The El Paso Police Department confirmed that two vehicles were involved in the crash, which occurred just after 5 p.m. in the 11000 block of Vista Del Sol and Lomaland, as reported by KTSM.
The collision led to tragedy when Maria De La Luz Roman, riding as a passenger in a Hyundai, sustained injuries from which she later died. Both drivers managed to quickly escape with only minor injuries. This incident marks the fifth traffic-related death in El Paso this year, a slight downturn from the six recorded at the same time in 2024, according to KFOX-TV.
The specifics of the crash have not been detailed in public releases; however, official statements have noted that the vehicles involved were a Hyundai Tucson and a Lincoln Navigator. The circumstances underpinning the collision remain under investigation by authorities. To keep the public informed, the El Paso Police Department continues to share updates as they become available.
In the wake of the accident, community members have been reminded about the fragile nature of life on the road. "Both drivers suffered minor injuries, while De La Luz Roman, who was a passenger in the Hyundai, died," as detailed by KVIA. The El Paso Police highlight the importance of vehicular safety measures and driver attentiveness to perhaps prevent future losses of life, which can occur far too suddenly.
