CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — A 41-year-old woman died Thursday after being involved in a two-vehicle accident on Texas Hwy. 188 near Sinton's Alfred C. 'Bubba' Thomas Airport.
Sinton resident Alma Paiz was driving a 2022 Chevrolet Malibu westbound on State Hwy. 188 when she hit a puddle of standing water at about 1:54 p.m. after Thursday morning's rain.
DPS Public Information Sgt. Harold "Rob" Mallory said Paiz's vehicle was driving at an unsafe speed for the weather, and had worn tires, which caused it to hydroplane and cross into the eastbound lane.
Her car hit 39-year-old Benjamin Jarvis in his F-350 head-on.
Paiz died at the scene and Jarvis, and Anderson resident, was taken to a local hospital.
