PALMVIEW, Texas - The Texas Department of Public Safety is investigating a fatal rollover crash that left two dead and two hospitalized.
Around 8 a.m. this Wednesday morning, DPS responded to a rollover crash along the Texas-Mexico border near the city of Palmview.
Officials say a green Ford expedition, occupied by three men and one woman, was evading law enforcement before losing control and then rolling over.
According to officials, the driver was "traveling at an unsafe speed" at the time of the crash.
One man was ejected from the vehicle and died at the scene as a result of his injuries.
A second man, who was later identified as a 31-year-old from Mexico, died from his injuries after being taken to a nearby hospital.
Two other occupants of the vehicle were transported in critical condition.
The case remains under investigation.
Officials at the scene believe the occupants were undocumented.
