Two Lives Lost in Tragic Oklahoma Highway Crash
The community of Amarillo is in mourning after a devastating accident claimed the lives of 21-year-old Cicso Diaz and 20-year-old Israel Obando on State Highway 152 in Oklahoma. The young men, both full of dreams and potential, were killed when their vehicle suddenly veered off the roadway. According to investigators, the car struck a guardrail and a post before colliding with a road sign that launched it over the edge of an embankment.
