GARZA COUNTY, TX — One person was killed Saturday afternoon in a two-vehicle crash at the intersection of U.S. Highway 84 and County Road 130 in Garza County, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.

The crash occurred at approximately 12:50 p.m.

A preliminary investigation found that a 2008 Mercedes passenger car was traveling southeast on U.S. Highway 84 and began turning east onto County Road 130. At the same time, a 2025 Chevrolet Suburban was traveling northwest on U.S. Highway 84 approaching the intersection.
