A man was arrested in connection with a deadly two-vehicle crash in Cameron County.

A preliminary investigation revealed 22-year-old Joey Gael Estrada, of Austin, was driving the wrong way on U.S. 77 when the crash occurred, killing 53-year-old Adelaida Gomez, of Conroe, Texas, according to Texas Department of Public Safety spokesperson Sgt. Maria Hernandez.
