The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) have identified 17-year-old Noah Whitaker and 19-year-old Cesar Castillo as the victims of a Tuesday morning head-on car accident along FM 2288 in San Angelo, Texas.
According to DPS, shortly after 7:00 a.m., Whitaker was traveling southbound in a 1999 Ford F-150 when he crossed into northbound traffic and collided with Castillo’s 1999 Chevrolet Silverado.
Both teenagers were pronounced dead at the scene.
