Feb 7, (THAINDIAN NEWS) An accident in West Texas yesterday killed five people after a Volkswagen Beetle car slammed against a dump truck in the afternoon. Of the five victims in the unfortunate death incident, three are children. The children were traveling in the Volkswagen Beetle with their grandmother when their car collided severely against the giant vehicle leading into such a disastrous accident that left no one alive of the two parties.

DPS Trooper John Barton in an interview to the media divulged that it has been found that all the five people were wearing their seat belts. The deaths in the accident are believed to have occurred instantaneously.
