Six other people were injured in the wreck, including four children. The accident initially involved two vehicles and ended up involving a third because of the path of one of the vehicles after impact.*

The accident took place in the early morning on April 29 on State Road 25 in Liberty County. At approximately 6 a.m. that day, a GMC Envoy and a Dodge Caliber were traveling southbound on State Road 25, approaching Smiley Hall Road.
