Beaumont police are investigating a fatal car crash that left a 16-year-old injured and a 51-year-old woman dead.
BPD responded to a crash around 4:20 p.m. Thursday, April 15, in the 1400 block of S.11th Street. The preliminary investigation revealed a 16-year-old male, driving a maroon Dodge truck, was traveling at a high rate of speed east on the IH-10 service road.
He did not stop for the red light at the 11th Street intersection and struck a silver Chevrolet that was traveling south on 11th Street. The collision struck the front passenger side of the Chevy. Both the maroon truck and the Chevy ended up in the northbound lanes of 11th Street and caused crashes involving a gold Chevy Equinox and a black Ford truck.
The front passenger of the first-struck Chevy, Aleida Tovias Rios, a 51-year-old Beaumont woman, was fatally injured during the crash. The other drivers and passengers involved in the crash investigation had non life-threatening injuries.
