KILLEEN - Three people were taken to a local hospital following a crash in Killeen late Tuesday morning, in which the front of a car came off and landed about 150 feet away.

Police were called to the 100 block of S. Twin Creek Dr. just before noon after getting a 911 call. Responding officers found three people injured in a two vehicle crash.

Witnesses told police a Nissan 370Z was heading south on Twin Creek at fast speeds, when the driver was unable to make a curve and crossed into oncoming traffic.

The Nissan collided with a Chevy Silverado pickup. Officers found the driver of the Nissan on the ground injured outside the vehicle, and two people injured in the Silverado.

Police report the front of the Nissan, including the engine and front tires, came off during the crash and landed 150 feet away.

All three victims were taken to Scott & White Memorial Hospital in Temple by ambulance. Police have not released their names at this time.

Police are still investigating the crash.

Just live and drive in any major city in Texas to get a taste of some of the worst a$$hole drivers you can meet. Mix that with the fastest posted speed limits to any state adds to the fun.

Throw some snow on top of that and I imagine it's great fun. I never have to worry about driving on an icy road with the OEM summer tires as I'm from south Florida, but your entire state gets snow once in a blue moon.

Dude if snows down here even if it's just a dusting I stay home and watch the 300 plus wrecks and traffic jams on TV. Pretty entertaining
