The Texas Department of Public Safety is investigating a fatal auto-pedestrian crash that killed one man.

The victim was identified as 36-year-old Juan Eufracio Lopez Gutierrez of Edcouch. 

DPS spokesperson Sgt. Maria Hernandez said the crash happened on Tuesday north of Elsa on FM 1925 west of Engelman Road on Tuesday at around 4:30 a.m.

Gutierrez was walking across FM 1925 when he collided with the Chrysler. He then went airborne and landed on the front windshield of a Chevrolet Silverado, also traveling eastbound on FM 1925 and occupied by a male driver and two male passengers, according to Hernandez.

Hernandez said Gutierrez landed on the asphalt, and died at the scene from his injuries.

None of the drivers or passengers sustained injuries in the auto-pedestrian crash.
