Two people were killed and two more were injured in a head-on collision on Texas 71 near Llano in the early morning hours of Aug. 3.
According to a Texas Department of Public Safety report, at around 4:45 a.m. Sunday, a 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix traveling west on Texas 71 about 10 miles east of Llano drifted into oncoming traffic for “unknown reasons.”
The drift led to a head-on collision with a 2015 Ford F-150. The Grand Prix burst into flames, according to the Llano Police Department. The driver and passenger of the Grand Prix were pronounced dead at the scene of the accident. The occupants of the F-150 were transported to area hospitals, one by ambulance and one by helicopter, with non-life-threatening injuries.
The identities of the deceased are being withheld by law enforcement until next-of-kin are notified.
These two deaths make eight fatalities from motor vehicle accidents in the Highland Lakes area over the past 10 days. One person was killed in a head-on collision on Texas 71 in Llano County on July 27. Five others lost their lives in an accident involving a truck and trailer on U.S. 281 in Burnet County on July 25.

Wait until the person with non life threatening injuries gets the bill for the helicopter. The ambulance was probably free or a couple hundred dollars the helicopter will be at least $20,000 if not $50,000.
