4 killed, 1 hospitalized after multi-vehicle pin-in crash on SH 130: ATCEMS
TRAVIS COUNTY, Texas - Four people have died following a multi-vehicle pin-in crash in southeast Travis County Sunday afternoon.
The Texas Department of Public Safety says a car and a dump truck collided at the intersection of S SH 130 near Maha Loop around 4:13 p.m. Dec. 3.
Medics arrived to find multiple people unconscious and pinned in their vehicles.
Despite efforts to revive them, four people were pronounced dead at the scene and one person was transported by STAR Flight to St. David's South Austin Medical Center with serious potentially life-threatening injuries. One person refused transport.
DPS says it appears one of the vehicles involved failed to yield the right of way.
"One had a stop sign and one did not. As a result, the crash occurred at the intersection," said Sgt. Deon Cockrell, with the Texas Department of Public Safety.
The road was shut down for several hours while crews cleared the scene.
