One person died early Thursday morning in Hockley County after their vehicle veered off the road.

According to the Texas Department of Public Safety, 38-year-old Linda Garza of Whiteface was driving a 2000 Chevrolet C-10 south on Santa Fe Road when both the right tires went off the edge of the road.

Garza overcorrected to the left, which led the vehicle to cross over the roadway and into the field. According to DPS, the vehicle collided with a boulder in the field before coming to a rest.

Garza was pronounced dead on the scene due to injuries received during the crash.
