Javier Romero Killed in Salado Multi-Vehicle Crash on FM 2483

Salado, Texas (August 4, 2021) – According to the Texas DPS, one person was killed, and three others were injured Tuesday morning in a multi-vehicle crash in Salado.

The fatal crash happened around 8:40 a.m., August 3, on FM 2483 near Interstate 35.

DPS said a 25-year-old man was driving a 2010 Toyota passenger car westbound on the highway while a 24-year-old man was driving a 2008 Dodge pickup truck eastbound.

The Dodge crossed into the westbound lane on a curve and struck a 2006 Nissan pickup truck driven by a 42-year-old man before crashing into the Toyota.

The force of the impact pushed the Toyota off the northbound side of the highway and into a water-filled ditch.

Javier Edgardo Castro Romero, 25, of Temple, who was a passenger in the Toyota, was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Toyota driver and another passenger, as well as the Dodge driver, were taken to Scott & White Medical Center in Temple with non-incapacitating injuries.

The crash closed the roadway for several hours.

The troopers are investigating the crash.

“When a person has suffered a grave personal injury in an accident due to someone else’s negligence, the most overwhelming emotion they feel is a sense of injustice. They often ask how such a life-altering event could have happened to them,” attorney Joel A. Gordon said. “The next question usually is, who can help me?” Mr. Gordon added.

A legal advocate can represent an injury victim or the family of a deceased victim. The attorney will file a claim on behalf of the victim and will have the responsibility of citing existing codes, laws or statutes which were violated.
