GRAYSON COUNTY, Texas (KLTV) - Three juveniles died in a three-vehicle crash in Grayson County on Friday. According to a DPS report, Hyrum Grandy, 40, of Lone Oak, was driving south on Highway 69 in a Hyundai Elantra at about 7:20 p.m., when he swerved onto the shoulder to avoid hitting vehicles in front of him that had slowed down. The report says he maneuvered around a couple of vehicles, but then attempted to get back on the roadway and hit a Ford F-150 in the southbound lane. The Hyundai continued to move forward, entering the northbound lane, where an oncoming Chevrolet Silverado struck its left side. Amara Grandy, 13; Alexander Grandy, 14; and Alvin Grandy, 10, were passengers in the Hyundai, and all three have died. Rains ISD released a statement on Sunday saying the ISD family is “heartbroken by the tragic loss of three students.” “We mourn with their parents and family during this time of unimaginable grief,” the ISD release said, noting that additional counselors will be in the district on Tuesday. Angel Martinez, 34, of Celest, was the driver of the Ford, and Lane Recer, 29, of Trenton, was the driver of the Chevrolet. The DPS report does not indicate that any of the adults were injured.
