A toddler was killed in a one-vehicle accident Monday in Martin County.Â
According to a report issued Tuesday evening by the Texas Department of Public Safety, Rene Gonzlez-Martinez, 27, of Hobbs, N.M., was driving his 2018 Nissan Altima east on State Highway 349, also known as the Tomm Craddick Bypass, when he veered off the south side of the roadway, colliding with a fence and a utility pole.Â
Gonzalez-Martinez and his passenger, Perla Mireya Arsiniega, 29, of Hobbs, N.M., were both transported to Midland Memorial Hospital in stable condition. A one-year-old male passenger, also of Hobbs, was pronounced dead at the scene of the wreck by Justice of the Peace Nancy Bradshaw of Martin County. The toddler's name was withheld in the report due to his young age.Â
