Somasundaram Ramesh and Kavitha Subramanian Killed, Arrushi Ramesh Injured in Gonzales County Two-Vehicle Crash on Highway 183 near CR 230

Gonzales County, Texas (July 8, 2021) – Three people were killed and three others were injured Monday afternoon in a two-vehicle crash in Gonzales County, according to the Texas DPS.

The fatal crash happened around 3:00 p.m., July 5, on Highway 183, just north of County Road 230 by Mile Marker 586.

DPS said a 2018 Ford Explorer was traveling southbound on the highway when the driver lost control, possibly due to the heavy rains, and crossed into the northbound lane where it collided with a 2020 Ford F-350 which was towing a flat-bed trailer.

The Explorer driver, Somasundaram Ramesh, 50, of Sugarland, and two passengers, Kavitha Subramanian, 45, of Cupertino, California, and a 15-year-old female, were killed in the wreck. Another passenger, Arrushi Ramesh, 20, of Sugarland, was taken to the San Antonio Military Hospital in an unknown condition.

The F-350 driver, Patrick Beck, 25, of Cedar Creek, and a passenger, Sarah Sellers, 22, of Round Rock, were taken to Ascension Seton Edgar B. Davis Hospital in Luling for treatment.

The troopers are investigating the crash.

Common Causes of Automobile Accidents

While there are many causes of car accidents, the most common reasons of driver negligence include driver inattention; cell phone use; 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 while under the influence of alcohol or drugs,” Attorney Joel A. Gordon said. Mr. Gordon believes that an independent investigation is important. An Attorney will help obtain the crash report, secure accident photos, interview witnesses, and create a claim.
