A child was the only survivor of a deadly crash that involved excessive speed in Texas last week.
According to the Amarillo Police Department, a 17-year-old driver of a Lexus was traveling over 100 mph just before a crash on Jan. 11 in Amarillo.
Around 12:54 p.m., Amarillo Police Department responded to a major head-on collision involving two sedans.
A white Lexus, driven by a 17-year-old female, lost control, entered oncoming traffic and collided with a Chevrolet Impala traveling in the opposite direction, police said.
The Impala was driven by Joseph Hernandez, 37, and his brother, Moses Hernandez, 38, as the front passenger.
The 17-year-old driver, identified as Victoria Vasquez by various media outlets and on social media, was ejected from the Lexus and was pronounced dead at the scene.
The two adults in the Impala also died from their injuries, authorities confirmed, but a third passenger - a child who was properly retrained in a child car seat - survived the collision.
All passengers in the Impala were wearing their seatbelts, police said.
