The pickup truck crossed into the opposite lane on a darkened, two-lane highway before colliding head-on with a van, killing the boy, a man traveling with him, six New Mexico college students and a golf coach.
The University of the Southwest students, including one from Portugal and one from Mexico, and the coach were returning from a golf tournament when the vehicles collided Tuesday night. Two Canadian students were hospitalized in critical condition.
The golf teams were traveling in a 2017 Ford Transit van that was towing a box trailer when it collided with the truck, and both vehicles burst into flames, according to NTSB spokesman Eric Weiss. Also killed were Henrich Siemens, 38, of Seminole County, Texas, and the 13-year-old boy who were in the 2007 Dodge 2500 pickup.
“One of the students is eating chicken soup,” said Tipton, calling their recovery “a game of inches.” The Mexican Federation of Golf posted an online note of condolence to the loved ones of Mauricio Sanchez. A woman stands at the entrance to the University of the Southwest in Hobbs, N.M. Students and a golf coach from the school were killed in a head-on collision in West Texas. A memorial was set up Wednesday at the course near campus where the team practices, with flowers, golf balls and a handmade sign.
