The driver of the Equinox was identified by DPS as 68-year-old Zoe Henson of Waco. Despite the response of emergency personnel, Henson was pronounced dead at the scene.
Authorities reported that no other individuals were injured in the crash. While the collision involved a large commercial truck and a passenger vehicle, the loss of Zoe’s life has made the incident a devastating tragedy for everyone who knew and loved her.
