Wrong-Way Driver Triggers North Texas Wreck That Kills 4

GREENVILLE, Texas (AP) – Four people have died, including three teenagers, when a wrong-way driver triggered a collision on a North Texas interstate.

Texas Department of Public Safety Trooper Kyle Bradford says a vehicle driving east in the westbound lanes of Interstate 30 early Friday collided with an SUV carrying five teens traveling from Virginia. 

Bradford says both vehicles then were struck by a tractor-trailer. 

He identified the wrong-way driver as 79-year-old Kenneth Frazier of nearby Royse City. The names of two of the dead teens were not available but Bradford identified the third as 18-year-old Holly Novak of Virginia.

Two other teens in the SUV were being treated at a Dallas hospital. 

Initial reports indicated the group was traveling from Alabama but Bradford confirmed they were en route from Virginia to Austin.
