Investigators say unsafe speed a factor in deadly West Texas crash
Investigators believe speed was a factor in a single-vehicle crash that left one man dead Tuesday evening in Motley County.
Anthony Marquis Natividad, 20 of Pecos, was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash that was reported about 5:50 p.m. on FM 94 about two miles northeast of Northfield, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.
Investigators believe Natividad was driving a 2024 International HV-507 south on FM 94 when the vehicle entered a left curve in the roadway at an unsafe speed and lost control.
The vehicle went into a side skip and rolled before coming to a rest. Natividad was not wearing a seatbelt. The speed limit on the road was 75 mph, but it was not immediately clear how fast investigators believe the vehicle was traveling.
Other factors contributing to the crash were not immediately clear as the investigation is ongoing.
