Victoria, Texas (April 22, 2022) – Two people were seriously injured on Thursday in a two-vehicle crash in Victoria, according to a local news source.

The crash happened around 7:30 a.m., on April 21, in the 2600 block of Houston Highway at the intersection of the 2600 block of N. Ben Wilson Street.

According to the report, a silver Kia Sportage occupied by Uvence Davila, 81, and Dominga Davila, 79, both of Victoria, was traveling westbound in the left turn lane of Houston Highway while a blue/gray Mazda CX-5, occupied by Sydney Partain, 18, of Victoria, was traveling eastbound in the 2800 block of Houston Highway.

Common Causes of Automobile Accidents
