ALVORD, TX – A wrong-way crash along the highway in north-central Wise County killed two people and injured five others last Saturday night, reports NBC DFW 5.
The accident happened just before 9:20 p.m. on US-287 near Hubbard Street, which is on the south side of Alvord. This is about 50 miles northwest of Fort Worth.
Police say that a northbound 2016 Hyundai Accent carrying four people collided head-on with a southbound 2020 Toyota Camry carrying three people.
Two people in the Hyundai, identified as 58-year-old Phillip Jacob Pennartz and 54-year-old Tina Marie Pennartz, died in the accident.
Medics airlifted one adult and a child from the Hyundai to an area hospital with undisclosed injuries. Three adults from the Toyota also went to area hospitals via air ambulance.
