CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas \u2014 A 72-year-old Corpus Christi man was killed last Friday morning in a head-on crash in Live Oak County, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.<\/p>\n

DPS Public Information Officer Sgt. Rob Mallory said the crash happened around 8:48 a.m. Friday on FM 624, just east of County Road 163.<\/p>\n

Mallory said a 2019 Ford F-150 was traveling westbound on FM 624 when it failed to maintain a single lane and crossed into the eastbound lane. The pickup struck a 2020 Dodge Ram head-on, causing the Ram to roll onto its side off the roadway.<\/p>\n

Both occupants of the Ram were trapped and required extrication, Mallory said.<\/p>\n

The passenger in the Ram, identified as Rolando Adame, 72, of Corpus Christi, was pronounced dead at the scene.<\/p>\n

The driver of the Ram was transported to Christus Spohn Shoreline in Corpus Christi for treatment.<\/p>\n

The male driver and female passenger of the Ford F-150 were taken to Christus Spohn in Alice with injuries. Their conditions have not been released.<\/p>\n

The crash remains under investigation by troopers with the Highway Patrol office in George West, Mallory said.<\/p>\n
