SEGUIN, Texas (KTRK) — Five people, including children, were killed in a crash off of Interstate 10 in Seguin, and all of them were from the Houston area, according to officials.

City of Seguin Public Information Officer Jennifer Sourdellia said that the single-vehicle crash happened near the intersection of FM 725 on Sunday afternoon.

Officials confirmed to ABC13 that a man, a woman, and three children were killed in the wreck.

Sourdellia said that the five individuals were in a black Chevy Tahoe traveling eastbound when the SUV veered off the highway, went off the overpass, and landed on FM 725. No other vehicles were involved.

The road was closed for over five hours as first responders worked the scene, according to the City of Seguin.

While the city confirmed the victims were from Harris County, Sourdellia said their identities are not being released at the moment. Officials did not immediately say whether the victims were related.

Authorities shared their thoughts and prayers and said the Seguin Police Department is investigating the cause of the crash.
