Jeremy Hess Killed in 4-Vehicle Crash at FM 907 and Texas Road in Edinburg

Edinburg, Texas – The identity of the second person who was killed Tuesday morning in a four-vehicle crash in Edinburg has been released. The victim has been identified as Jeremy John Hess, 43, of Wisconsin, according to the Texas DPS.

The fatal crash happened around 9:43 a.m., April 23, at the intersection of FM 907 and Texas Road.

DPS said a woman was driving a red Ford Escape with one other passenger eastbound on Texas Road. A red Nissan Versa was traveling southbound on FM 907 while a brown Cadillac SRX driven by a man was traveling northbound on FM 907.

The Ford Escape failed to yield at the stop sign and collided with the Nissan Versa. The Nissan then sideswiped the Cadillac, causing it to veer off to the southeast corner of the intersection and become engulfed in flames.

The Ford veered off the roadway onto the southeast corner of the intersection where it crashed into a utility pole, ejecting the passenger. It also hit a parked unoccupied Ford Econoline van.

The Nissan driver, 29-year-old, Sergio Delgado, of Edinburg, was pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver and passenger of the Ford were taken to a local hospital with major injuries where the passenger, Jeremy John Hess, 43, of Wisconsin, was pronounced dead. The driver was listed in stable condition.

The Cadillac driver was also taken to the hospital for treatment and has since been released.

The DPS is investigating the crash.
