Two of four children killed in Texas crash – NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth

Two children and two adults were killed in an early morning crash northwest of Fort Worth Tuesday morning, according to Wise County officials.

The four people killed were all traveling in an SUV just before sunrise when it collided head-on with a tractor-trailer near Farm-to-Market Road 1810 and County Road 1340.

The driver of the truck was taken to hospital after the accident. The driver’s condition is unknown.

NBC 5 has learned the children killed in the crash attended Chico Elementary School. Chico ISD Superintendent Randy Brawner sent a message to parents Tuesday morning after learning of the crash.

“It is with a heavy heart that I inform you of the deaths of two elementary students at Chico Elementary School. Such a sudden loss of a classmate can have a profound impact on students, even if they are not in the same class. It wouldn’t be unusual. “Students will behave or express themselves differently in the next few weeks,” Brawner wrote.

Chico ISD said counselors were on campus Tuesday and will continue to be available as needed.

“Our ongoing priority is the emotional and physical well-being of all of our students,” Brawner wrote. “Thank you for your thoughts, prayers and continued support for Chico ISD.”

The identities of the four people killed have not yet been released by the coroner. The school district said funeral arrangements are still pending.

The investigation into the crash is ongoing.
