The Donna Police Department and the Texas Department of Public Safety continue investigating a two-vehicle crash on the expressway that killed a 16-year-old and hospitalized two others on Tuesday, according to a news release.

On Wednesday morning, South Texas ISD identified the teen as South Texas ISD Science Academy student Colin Feltis. The district said in a social media post that additional counselors are being brought in to support students and staff.

"Our hearts are with all family, friends and others who have been impacted by this tragedy," the district said on social media. "This is a great loss not only for Colin’s family, but for our entire South Texas ISD community. During this difficult time, it is of utmost importance that we come together as a district family to grieve and to support one another."
