Houston County, TX (November 21, 2024) – Boston Wilson, 16, of Big Sandy, and Carter Snider, 17, of Hawkins, were killed in a vehicle collision on Highway 19 Saturday.

Snider was transported to the hospital where he died. His passenger, Wilson, was declared deceased at the scene. Snider’s other passenger, Riley Russell, 18, was transported with life-threatening injuries.
