## Resource

A horrific five-vehicle crash in Hillsboro, Texas, claimed the lives of Zachary and Katherine Barton, both 39, and critically injured a 12-year-old. The chain reaction began when a car collided with a farm tractor, sending equipment flying onto the road—prompting two more crashes. Tragically, after exiting their vehicle, the Bartons and the teen were struck by a fifth car while standing on the highway. Alcohol may have played a role in the initial collision, as authorities investigate this devastating sequence of events that underscores how fast tragedy can unfold on the road.
