Ten people are dead, and 20 are injured after a van carrying nearly 30 people flipped over in Encino Wednesday afternoon, according to Texas Department of Public Safety Sgt. Nathan Brandley.
Brandley said the driver of the 15-passenger Ford van attempted to turn right at an unsafe speed and veered off Highway 281, striking a metal utility pole and a stop sign.
Authorities said the driver and nine passengers died at the scene; 20 others were transported to several area medical centers.
