LAVON, Texas (AP) — Three people are dead and three others are hurt after a head-on collision between a sport-utility vehicle and a minivan on a rain-slick north Texas highway.
The crash happened about 10 a.m. Friday on Texas 205, just south of Texas 78 on the western outskirts of Lavon. That's 25 miles northeast of Dallas.
The Texas Department of Public Safety says it was raining when the northbound SUV crossed into the oncoming lane and slammed head-on into the oncoming minivan. Three of the four people in the minivan were killed, while a toddler in a child-safety seat was taken to Children's Medical Center at Dallas.
No conditions are available for the child, nor for the two people in the SUV who were hospitalized.
