Terrell, Texas (October 5, 2021) – According to the authorities, a 13-year-old boy was killed Saturday night in a four-vehicle crash in Terrell.

The fatal crash happened around 10:58 p.m., October 2, on Interstate 20, near mile marker 513.

The Dodge Ram pick-up truck was then rear-ended by a white Ford F-250. The force of the impact pushed the Highlander into another vehicle.
