Rene Morales Obituary, Death – Tragic Accident on Interstate 10 Claims Life of Los Angeles Man
A tragic accident occurred on Interstate 10 in Pecos County early Tuesday morning, resulting in the death of Rene Morales, a 63-year-old man from Los Angeles.
According to the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), Morales was driving a 2012 Dodge Caravan eastbound on Interstate 10 when a deer suddenly entered the roadway, causing a collision.
The impact of hitting the deer caused Morales to lose control of the vehicle, which subsequently rolled over and came to a stop on the service road adjacent to Interstate 10.
Despite wearing his seatbelt, Morales did not survive the crash and was pronounced dead at the scene by Pecos County Justice of the Peace, Donna Wooten.
The DPS has issued a press release confirming Morales’s identity and providing details about the circumstances of the crash, which is currently under investigation.
The accident highlights the dangers posed by wildlife on roadways, especially in rural areas, and serves as a reminder of the importance of vigilance while driving.
The collision with the deer was severe enough to cause the vehicle to overturn, underscoring the potential for serious accidents when animals cross busy roads.
The area around mile marker 321 on Interstate 10 is likely a region where wildlife crossings are not uncommon, particularly at night when animals are more active and visibility is reduced.
The Texas Department of Public Safety’s ongoing investigation will likely explore several factors, including the speed at which Morales was traveling and the exact position of the deer on the road.
The loss of Rene Morales is a tragic event for his family and friends, who must now cope with the sudden and unexpected loss of a loved one.
