Kileen, TX (12/30/2019) – Two people are dead after being involved in a fatal two-vehicle accident in Killeen, Texas.
The accident occurred Saturday, Dec. 21, around 11 p.m. at the intersection of State Highway 195 and Chaparral Road when a Nissan Armada ran a red light and struck a Hyundai Elantra broadside.
Vivian Michelle Gonzalez, a 19-year-old passenger in the Hyundai, was taken to two different hospitals before succumbing to her injuries on Monday, Dec. 23.
Patrick Lee Stephens, 21, was identified as the driver of Hyundai. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Passengers in the Armada suffered minor injuries.
The driver of the Armada has yet to be reported.
Crash investigators will review all factors that may have led up to the accident and police reports will be made available in fourteen days.
Both families of the two victims that died in the accident have rights to file a claim of wrongful death with their respective insurance companies. However, insurance companies are only looking out for their best interests. For instance, State Farm claims and USAA claims are only working towards what will be in favor of State Farm and USAA. Anything you tell to an insurance company claims adjuster can be used against you.
