A tragic accident early Friday morning on US Highway 77 north of Victoria, claimed the life of 25-year-old Jazlyn Martinez. Her vehicle stalled in heavy fog with low visibility, and a Victoria County Sheriff’s deputy, off duty and driving a white pickup, collided with her car, which was unlit. Martinez was pronounced dead at the scene, though her passenger—a man who tried pushing the vehicle—and a child were unharmed. The deputy sustained serious injuries and was hospitalized. About an hour later, a separate, non-injury crash occurred nearby due to the poor conditions.
