Edinburg, TX : 2 children killed in fatal Edinburg crash on Friday, 18th September, 2020

A 6-year-old girl and 13-year-old boy were killed Friday afternoon in a two-vehicle collision in Edinburg, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.

Around 5 p.m., a Hyundai passenger car was traveling east on FM 2812, approaching Buena Vista Drive. The driver of the Hyundai was identified as Edinburg resident 15-year-old Jorge Bautista Jr.

According to the release, Bautista passed another vehicle on the right side of an improved shoulder that was attempting to turn onto Buena Vista Drive.

As a result, Bautista “took faulty evasive action by overcorrecting,” the release stated, followed by Bautista allegedly losing control of the car and causing it to travel in a side-skid towards the westbound lane of travel.

The other vehicle involved in the crash, a Dodge pickup traveling west on FM 2812, struck Bautista’s car on its passenger side.
