Alvarado, TX : Mother, 2 Children Dead after a head-on wrong way crash on U.S. Highway 67 in North Texas on Sunday, March 8, 2015

Two children and an adult were killed in a wrong-way crash in Alvarado early Sunday.

Police say a pick-up truck struck a car about 1:26 a.m. on U.S. Highway 67 near County Road 810 and Baker Lane, about 42 miles southwest of Dallas. The car had an adult and three children inside.

Investigators say the pick-up truck was traveling the wrong direction on the highway before the crash. They believe alcohol was a factor and may file criminal charges.

The driver of the car — Maranda Abshire, 22, of Alvarado — and two children died in the crash, according to police. They were pronounced dead at the scene. Another child was flown to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The driver of the pick-up truck was also flown to a local hospital. Police did not release his name or condition.
