Two people were killed and one person was critically injured in a head-on collision in Killeen on Monday morning, June 1, 2026. According to KWTX, the crash happened around 7:40 a.m. in the 700 block of East Stan Schlueter Loop, between Trimmier Road and Velma Drive. Investigators said a 2024 gray Toyota SUV traveling westbound drifted into the eastbound lane and collided head-on with a 2016 gray Kia SUV. The 41-year-old Toyota driver was pronounced dead at the scene. The Kia’s driver and passenger were taken to Baylor Scott & White Medical Center, where the 73-year-old passenger later died. The 77-year-old Kia driver remained in critical condition. Killeen police said investigators were looking into whether impairment played a role, and an autopsy was ordered for the Toyota driver.

Evidence such as crash scene measurements, witness statements, vehicle inspections, event data recorder information, toxicology findings, surveillance video, dashcam footage, and police reconstruction findings may be critical in understanding what happened.
