The Donna Police Department and the Texas Department of Public Safety continue investigating a two-vehicle crash on the expressway that killed a 16-year-old and hospitalized two others on Tuesday, according to a news release.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday morning, South Texas ISD identified the teen as South Texas ISD Science Academy student Colin Feltis. The district said in a social media post that additional counselors are being brought in to support students and staff.<\/p>\n

“Our hearts are with all family, friends and others who have been impacted by this tragedy,” the district said on social media. “This is a great loss not only for Colin\u2019s family, but for our entire South Texas ISD community. During this difficult time, it is of utmost importance that we come together as a district family to grieve and to support one another.”<\/p>\n

The crash happened Tuesday shortly after 5:30 p.m. Police previously told Channel 5 News a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado rear-ended a 2019 Chevrolet Cruze between Hutto Road and Main Street on the westbound lanes of the expressway in Donna.<\/p>\n
