HONDO, Texas – A 72-year-old man died Saturday morning after a crash on Highway 90 in Medina County that seriously injured two others and closed westbound lanes for several hours, according to officials.
Preliminary information indicates a Toyota Tacoma pickup traveling eastbound on Highway 90 lost control for an unknown reason and veered into westbound lanes, where it collided with an SUV and a tractor-trailer near San Francisco Perez Creek and County Road 4614.
The driver of the Tacoma — a 72-year-old man and the vehicle’s sole occupant — was ejected and died at the scene.
On Sunday, the Texas Department of Public Safety identified the man as Humberto Barrera.
Both occupants of the SUV were transported to a hospital in San Antonio with serious injuries. The driver of the tractor-trailer was not injured.
