KIMBLE COUNTY, Texas — A child died in a two-vehicle collision Thursday evening in Kimble County.
According to a preliminary crash report from the Texas Department of Public Safety, the crash happened on US Hwy 377, approximately eight miles southwest of London.
The report said a tractor-trailer, driven by Derek La Tray James Scurry of Las Vegas, was traveling southbound on Hwy 377 and an SUV, driven by Martha Gabriela Ramirez of Surprise, Arizona, was traveling northbound.
