Five people, including four members of a New Mexico family, have died in a late-night crash on a rural road in the Texas Panhandle. 30-year-old Ryan Painter of Corpus Christi was killed when his pickup crossed the center line just before midnight Saturday north of Vega and struck an oncoming Chevy van. The van was transporting 43-year-old Louis David Torres Sr.; his wife, 43-year-old Dalila Torres; a 20-year-old woman; 14-year-old boy; and 10-year-old girl. Only the boy survived the horrific collision.
