Galveston, Texas (September 17, 2022) – A second teen has died following a two-vehicle crash that left another teen dead, and three others injured earlier this month in Galveston, according to the police.

The fatal crash happened around 6:00 p.m., September 2, at the intersection of 41st Street and Avenue O, across from Galveston Ball High School.

Nelson was killed in the crash. 

Four passengers, including Mixon, were taken to the hospital, where Mixon later died.

Common Causes of Automobile Accidents

There are many different reasons why automobile, 18-wheeler, and motorcycle accidents occur, including driver negligence, driver inattention, texting and driving, speeding, fatigue, failure to yield the right of way from a stop sign, or private drive, running a red light, and driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. While the factors listed above are the main causes of most accidents, there may also be other factors involved, which is why it’s important that an investigation be conducted before evidence disappears, especially in cases involving a fatality.  At Joel A.
