San Angelo, TX (November 1, 2024) – A tragic three-vehicle crash occurred early on the morning of October 31, resulting in the deaths of two San Angelo residents, including a 10-year-old child. The accident was reported at approximately 5:58 a.m. at the intersection of U.S. Highway 87 and March Road in Tom Green County.
According to the Texas Department of Public Safety (TxDPS), the weather conditions were clear, and the road was dry at the time of the incident. Preliminary investigations revealed that a Chevrolet SUV and a Toyota pickup were traveling northbound on U.S. Highway 87 as they approached the intersection with March Road. The collision occurred when the driver of a Ford pickup, traveling westbound on March Road, disregarded a stop sign and entered U.S. Highway 87.
Tragically, two occupants of the Chevrolet SUV lost their lives in the crash. TxDPS identified one of the deceased as 41-year-old Rudy Ramos of San Angelo. The identity of the 10-year-old girl who also perished has not been released by authorities.
