UPDATE (April 8, 2024): Recent reports have been released which clarify what occurred leading up to and during this accident. According to these reports, 24-year-old Heber Isaac Hernandez was traveling in an eastbound Dodge Ram in the far left lane of S.H. 183 in the vicinity east of the Murphy Drive overpass when the accident took place.

Officials indicate that, for unknown reasons, the Ram attempted to pass a Range Rover SUV on the left using the north shoulder of the highway. The pickup was reportedly unable to safely complete the maneuver, having first made contact with the left side of the Range Rover before overcorrecting to the right, crossing over all three of the eastbound lanes of the highway, and crashing into the metal guardrail on the south side of the road. There, it overturned, rolling approximately three times before coming to a stop. Hernandez was apparently ejected from the pickup truck during the course of the accident, incurring fatal injuries, as a result.

The investigation continues.
