Two people are dead from a crash Tuesday afternoon on Loop 303 near Bell Road.
Emergency crews were called to the area of milepost 118 for a three-vehicle crash, according to the Department of Public Safety.
Officials say two people in the same car were pronounced dead at the scene.
DPS says it believes the crash happened when a Toyota Sienna slowed in the roadway after its hood became unlatched and impacted the windshield.
Investigators believe a Nissan SUV rear-ended the Sienna while the hood was up. At that point, a third vehicle struck the Nissan.
The driver and passenger in the Sienna died at the scene. They have been identified as 82-year-old Richard W. Goode and 85-year-old Anna S. Maas.
The drivers of the other two vehicles were taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The investigation remains ongoing.
