45 year-old Shawn Eric Lindsey of McGregor, TX died at the scene of the crash.

According to Texas DPS, a 16-year old female driver of a 2014 Dodge Ram Pick-up was traveling westbound on FM 1783, when she crossed over the center line on a curve and collided head on with the McGregor resident's 1997 Honda Civic.

Lindsey was pronounced dead at the scene by Justice of the Peace Jim Caldwell, and next of kin was notified.

The 16-year old driver was transported to Coryell Memorial Hospital with non-incapacitating injuries.

Texas DPS said in the release that it would like to remind drivers to limit distractions while driving, as it increases the probability of being involved in a traffic crash.
