Two Colmesneil teenagers were involved in a San Augustine County crash on Tuesday evening. One is dead and the other is reportedly in very critical condition. Sergeant David Hendry with the Texas Department of Public Safety in Lufkin says it happened shortly before 6:00 on State Highway 103 at Farm to Market Road 1277, which is about 13 miles southwest of San Augustine.

KJAS News has learned from friends of the family that Lacy Reynolds, 18, and Kaitlyn Byrum, 17, both of Colmesneil, were headed to Chireno to watch a high school baseball game.

Sergeant Hendry said Reynolds was driving a 2016 Kia passenger car northbound on FM 1277 when she failed to stop at a stop sign at Highway 103. The Kia drove into the path of a 2008 GMC SUV that was eastbound on Highway 103 and struck the Kia on the driver side.

Reynolds was pronounced deceased at the scene, while her passenger, Byrum, was flown from the scene by medical helicopter to a Tyler hospital for treatment.

The driver of the SUV, Joe Worry, 37, of San Augustine, was transported by ambulance to a Lufkin hospital for treatment.

As emergency crews were working the initial accident, Sergeant Hendry said a second accident occurred involving an 18-wheeler.

Hendry said the driver of a Freightliner truck-tractor semi-trailer was traveling eastbound on Highway 103 when he came upon the accident scene and took evasive action to the right, striking a parked Chevrolet pickup truck on the side of the roadway.

Hendry said no injuries resulted from the second crash.
