At least six people, including two children, were killed in a devastating head-on crash in Texas on Saturday afternoon.
Authorities said the victims died when two vehicles collided and burst into flames between Bynum and Malone in Hill County.
The deadly wreck occurred shortly after 4.30pm on State Highway 171 near FM 3155, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.
The department said a northbound passenger car attempted to pass another vehicle before slamming head-on into an approaching van.
The impact sparked an intense blaze, leaving both vehicles fully engulfed in flames.
Two adults and two children were pronounced dead at the scene, while another child was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.
Two other people in the passenger car were also killed, bringing the death toll to six, DPS said.
Authorities have not released the victims' identities as they work to notify next of kin.
The investigation is ongoing and no further details have been released.
In a statement to the Daily Mail, Hill County Lieutenant Chris Jackson said: 'The Hill County Sheriff's Office responded, along with the Texas Department of Public Safety - Highway Patrol, Bynum Fire Department, and Careflite EMS.
'Shortly after that, additional personnel responded from the Penelope Fire Department, Hillsboro Fire/Rescue, Texas Department of Transportation, and Hill County Emergency Management,' he added.
