Reports also confirm that her sister was also in the car and was sent to the hospital following the accident. Crystal Torres had her learner's permit but was breaking the law by driving without a person over the age of 20 in the car with her.

Reports state that she was driving a 2011 Honda Accord south on Highway 321 when an 18-wheeler collided with her car after entering the highway going eastbound near W. Hutto Road. Sadly, the accident happend only 6 miles form Torres' home. All three people in the car were wearing seat belts at the time of the accident.
