2 Killed in Henderson County Collision on U.S. Highway 175 Identified

Henderson County, Texas (February 13, 2018) –  Authorities have released the identity of the two people who were killed in a three-vehicle crash in Henderson County on Sunday as 3-year-old Brandon Munoz and 24-year-old Ingrid Munoz Perdomo, both of Jacksonville.
The deadly crash took place on Sunday, February 11, on U.S. Highway 175, five miles southeast of the city of Athens.
According to investigators report, a 2004 Honda Accord, was driven northwest on US-175 in by Perdomo when the woman lost control of the vehicle due to icy road conditions and crossed the center stripe into the path of a 2004 Peterbilt truck-tractor towing a semi-trailer driven by David Roberts, 62, of Larue.
The two vehicles reportedly collided Perdomo’s car to drive back into the westbound lane where her vehicle collided with a 2012 Nissan Juke driven by Lynn Lou Ann Shepherd, 43, of Sanger, authorities said.
The report indicated that Perdomo died at the scene and her two passengers, Munoz, and a 2-year-old girl, were all transported to ETMC-Athens where Munoz later succumbed to his injuries. The girl was reported in stable condition.
Shepherd and her two passengers, a 9-year-old and an 11-year-old were also transported to ETMC-Athens where they were all treated and released, authorities said.
No other injuries were reported in the crash.
