Edinburg, TX – Deadly Pileup Crash at FM 907 & Texas Rd

Edinburg, TX (April 25, 2024) – Two people were killed and two others injured after a collision in the Edinburg area on Tuesday, April 23. The accident was reported at the intersection of Farm to Market Road 907 and Texas Road early that morning around 9:43 a.m. Local reports revealed that a red Ford Escape, a red Nissan Versa, and a brown Cadillac SRX collided at the scene. 

The woman driving the Ford was headed east as 29-year-old Sergio Delgado was traveling south in the Nissan and the Cadillac was heading northbound. The driver of the Ford failed to yield at a stop sign and crashed into the Nissan, causing a chain-reaction collision where the Nissan sideswiped the Cadillac. The Nissan then veered off the road before catching fire. 

The Ford hit a utility pole before leaving the road, where the passenger, later identified as 43-year-old Jeremy John Hess of Wisconsin, was ejected from the vehicle before being hit by a nearby Ford Econoline van. Delgado was killed and pronounced dead at the scene. Hess and the driver of the Escape were hospitalized for treatment, and Hess later succumbed to his injuries. The driver of the Cadillac was also hospitalized. No further information on the accident is currently available. An ongoing investigation into the cause of the crash is in progress. 

We would like to offer our deepest condolences to the families of the deceased victims at this time. Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families in hopes of a full recovery.
