Rudy Ramos and Child Killed in Horrific Multi-Car Crash on Highway 87 [Grape Creek, TX]

Grape Creek, TX (November 2, 2024) On 41-year-old Rudy Ramos of San Angelo and a 10-year-old girl were killed in a three-vehicle collision near Grape Creek.

According to the Texas Department of Public Safety (TxDPS), the fatal crash happened at the intersection of U.S. Highway 87 and March Road at about 5:58 a.m.

Reports say a tragic three-vehicle accident claimed the lives of two San Angelo residents, including a 10-year-old child.

The preliminary investigation by TxDPS revealed that both a Chevrolet SUV and a Toyota pickup were traveling north on U.S. Highway 87, nearing the March Road intersection.

Additionally, a Ford pickup, moving westbound on March Road, allegedly disregarded a stop sign and entered the highway, resulting in the crash.

Officials say that the Ford pickup hit the passenger side of the Toyota, and the Chevrolet SUV collided with the driver’s side of the Ford.

Two occupants of the Chevrolet SUV died in the accident. TxDPS identified one of the victims as 41-year-old Rudy Ramos of San Angelo, while the other was a 10-year-old girl, also from San Angelo.

Three other passengers in the SUV—30-year-old Annie Marie Puga, a 9-year-old boy, and a 5-year-old boy, all from San Angelo—sustained minor injuries and were taken to Shannon Medical Center. No injuries were reported for the drivers of the Ford and Toyota pickups.

A Concho Valley Homepage representative at the scene reported that the highway’s northbound lane remained closed for several hours due to the collision, and observed that one vehicle had been pushed several hundred yards into the median from the impact point.
