The driver and passenger of the Ford were both pronounced dead at the scene. They were identified as 19-year-old Wesley Sanders of Lexington, Texas and 22-year-old Maegan Sanders of Laredo.

The driver of the Tesla, identified as 25-year-old Douglas Leighton of Tyler was taken to Baylor Scott & White Hospital in Temple with his condition not available.

The driver of the Infinity, identified as 19-year-old Connor Lowen of Arlington, was not injured.
