My buddy that I've been best friends with since we were 8-10 years old's two step-sons were in a really bad accident yesterday morning in Van Alstyne.
He is in critical condition as of right now and is going to have a long road ahead of him.
VAN ALSTYNE, Texas -- Police report a multivehicle accident on Thursday morning in Van Alstyne that injured two teens and another person may have been caused by distracted driving.
Police say two brothers, De'Angelo Alexander and Dont'e Kehler were in a small white sedan that was traveling southbound on Highway 5 when the car crossed into the opposing lane and struck two vehicles traveling northbound.
The white sedan landed in a ravine on the northbound side of the road.
A silver Nissan sedan came to rest off the roadway and another silver sedan came to rest in the middle of the road.
"The southbound vehicle landed here in the ditch. We had a total of 4 people that were involved and 3 of them were transported, one of them by air ambulance," Chief Tim Barnes, said.
Both Alexander and Kehler are listed on Van Alstyne's Varsity football team.
The passenger in the white sedan, Alexander, was transported by ambulance to a hospital where he was treated and released.
The driver of the white sedan, Kehler, was airlifted by CareFlite to a hospital in Plano.
The third person who was injured was taken by ambulance to Wilson N. Jones in Sherman with non-life threatening injuries, and the fourth person involved was treated and released on scene.
Van Alstyne Police Chief Tim Barnes said the department is investigating whether texting played a factor in the incident.
"There's a possibility speed was a factor and, or texting," Barnes said. "We're marking the scene so that we can draw the crash scene back to scale."
He is in critical condition as of right now and is going to have a long road ahead of him.
