Deaf Smith County, Texas (June 12, 2020) – Two men were killed Thursday morning in a two-vehicle crash in Deaf Smith County, northeast of Hereford, according to the DPS.

The fatal crash happened around 7:00 a.m., June 11, on FM 809.

Perry was taken to Northwest Texas Hospital, where he was treated and released.

All the involved victims were wearing seatbelts at the time of the crash.

The crash remains under investigation.
