A Tuesday evening motor vehicle accident on the southwest side of Greenville resulted in one death and one serious injury, Texas Department of Public Safety Sgt. Kyle Bradford said.

The crash happened at about 7:15 p.m. at the intersection of FM 1570 and State Highway 66.

Officials believe a blue Saturn was traveling southeast on FM 1570 and a grey Dodge Ram pickup truck was traveling southwest on Highway 66, Bradford said.

“For an as of yet to be determined reason the driver of the Saturn failed to stop at the stop sign and collided with the pickup truck,” Bradford said. “The driver of the Dodge Ram was not injured, the passenger was taken to Hunt Regional in stable condition and the rear passenger was taken via care flight to Medical City of Plano with life-threatening injuries. The driver of the Saturn was pronounced deceased on scene. The investigation is ongoing and no further information is available at this time.”
