Press Release from Texas Department of Public Safety
DEL RIO – THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY (DPS) is investigating a one-vehicle fatal crash that occurred on June 14, 2026, at approximately 3:16 a.m., on US 83 approximately 4-miles north of Carrizo Springs, Texas, in Dimmit County.
Preliminary investigation revealed that a 2024 gray Hyundai Sonata was traveling southbound on US 83 and Midway Park Road (County Road 101). The Hyundai failed to drive in a single lane and crossed into the northbound lane of travel. The driver left the traveled roadway, veered into a bar ditch, and struck a concrete embankment.
The Hyundai rolled over, ejecting the driver who was lying in the northbound lane and was run over by a truck tractor, avoiding the crash vehicle in the southbound lane. The driver, Brandon Lee Frausto, 29, from Carrizo Springs, was pronounced deceased on scene as a result of this crash.
The passenger was transported to Dimmit Regional Hospital. DPS Troopers continue to investigate this fatal crash.
