Two Killed in Plano Crash; Driver Arrested

The crash happened around 7:15 p.m. on November 6 near Alma Drive and Cross Bend Road. Police said the RAV4 was turning left from Alma Drive onto Cross Bend Road when it was struck by a southbound Ford F-150 traveling at a high rate of speed.

The collision overturned the RAV4. Both vehicles then hit a roadside signal post and a tree, according to police. Responding officers found the two people inside the SUV unconscious. Plano Fire-Rescue crews removed them and attempted life-saving measures, but both died at the scene.

Police said they believe alcohol and speed contributed to the crash. The pickup’s driver, 22-year-old Steve Jaramillo, was taken into custody and accused of operating a vehicle while intoxicated. Police said additional charges may be considered as the investigation continues.

The victims’ names have not been released while authorities work to notify their next of kin.
