Officials say three siblings from Huntsville and a friend have died in a two-vehicle accident in Central Texas as they traveled to watch a drill team competition in San Antonio.
The Texas Department of Public Safety says the wreck happened Friday night on westbound Texas 21 near Bastrop. A pickup truck rear-ended the siblings' stopped vehicle waiting to turn.
A Huntsville Independent School District statement on Sunday says three siblings died -- a high school junior, an eighth grader and a sixth grader. Their mother, who was driving, was hospitalized in critical but stable condition. The fourth person who died, a girl, was a 2018 Huntsville High School graduate.
Names weren't immediately released.
DPS says the pickup driver and a passenger weren't hurt.
Huntsville is 60 miles north of Houston.
In a story March 31 about a fatal traffic accident in Bastrop, Texas, The Associated Press reported erroneously that three of the victims were sisters. The three siblings who died were two sisters and a brother.
