LPD identifies the man killed in South Lubbock car crash

Officers responded to the crash and one person was pronounced dead at the scene. The Major Crash Investigation Unit, which handles the most serious traffic fatalities in the city, took over the investigation. Details about the victim's identity were not released in the available source material.

That stretch of South Lubbock sees steady traffic moving between neighborhoods and the loop, and a fatal crash there draws attention from people who travel that corridor regularly. For drivers who use 98th and Quaker, this is a reminder that the intersection has now claimed at least one life. Families in that part of town will want to watch for any traffic safety changes LPD or the city might consider following the investigation.

South Lubbock has grown considerably over the past decade, pushing more daily drivers through intersections like this one that were once on the quiet edge of town.
