Anderson County, Texas (August 5, 2021) – The Palestine woman who was injured on July 29 in a two-vehicle crash in Anderson County has died, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.

21-year-old Keren Dyer succumbed to her injuries on August 4.

The crash happened around 3:35 p.m., at the intersection of CR 417 and US Highway 287, southeast of Palestine.

DPS said Dyer was driving a 2012 Honda Civic and was stopped at a stop sign on CR 417. She failed to yield the right-of-way, pulled out onto US 287, and crashed into an 18-wheeler that was traveling southeast on US 287.

The force of the impact caused the Honda to spin around and come to a stop facing southeast.

Dyer was taken to UT Health-Tyler with life-threatening injuries, where she later died.

The 18-wheeler driver, Travis McMillian, 36, of Houston, was uninjured in the crash.

The crash remains under investigation.
