Mother, child killed in Bertram wreck
A mother and her 2-year-old child were killed in a four-vehicle collision on Texas 29 in the Bertram city limits Dec. 3.
Patricia Torres-Jimenez, 31, of Bertram was waiting to make a left turn into a laudromat in the 1400 block of Texas 29 at around 8:20 p.m. Tuesday when her 2007 Toyota Yaris was rear-ended and pushed into oncoming traffic by a 2019 Dodge Charger. The Yaris was struck by an 18-wheeler truck and trailer and then collided with a BMW, according to the Bertram Police Department.
Torres-Jimenez and her 2-year-old child, who was a passenger, were pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the Charger, who is from Burnet, sustained minor injuries. The drivers of the 18-wheeler and BMW were reportedly unharmed.
According to the Bertram Police Department, the collision is thought to be an accident, with no driving under the influence involved, but an investigation is ongoing.

29 used to be like a Farm to Market Road in the mid 90s as soon as the Ronald Reagan expressway popped up i knew it was going to be a nightmare in coming year’s and no one planned for it. So here we are!
DUI or not, serious charges must be made against the driver causing the accident. In Florida we would charge him/her with vehicular homicide.
My thoughts exactly. When someone rear ends no matter the circumstances they’re liable, same law should apply here where lives were lost.
When will the SLOW the speed on 29 and make turn lanes ….
How many people have to die ??
