Three killed in collison on SH 53

Three people were killed in a head-on collision on SH-53 approximately six miles west of Rosebud on June 1 after one of the drivers attempted to pass a vehicle.

The collision was reported at approximately 6:05 a.m. when the driver of a Honda Accord traveling east crashed into an oncoming Hyundai Sonata, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.

The driver of the Hyundai, Kayla Zan, 40, of Bremond, and the passenger of the Honda, Dion Joshua, 28, of Columbus, Ga., were pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver of the Honda, Ja’Quon Cordarius, 28, of Columbus, Ga., was transported to Baylor Scott and White in Temple, where he was later pronounced dead.

The DPS would like to remind drivers that when passing another vehicle on a two-lane road, ensure you can safely pass. This includes giving yourself time to return to your correct lane before oncoming traffic arrives. When in doubt, do not pass and never pass in a no-passing zone.
