"At this particular time, we do not have a reason why the vehicle crossed into oncoming traffic," says Sergeant Kyle Bradford with Texas DPS. "But they did collide, and upon the collision we did have a death."

The driver of the Nissan died at the scene. Four others were in the Chevy and were injured. They were all rushed to the hospital. One did not survive-- no word on the condition of the other three.

"Anytime something like this happens, it's tragic," says Bradford. "We definitely feel for the families."

The cause of the crash is still under investigation.
