SEGUIN, TX — Five people from the Houston area died Sunday when their SUV left an Interstate 10 overpass in Seguin and crashed onto FM 725 below, according to local officials.

The victims were identified as Omar Lumbreras Oliva, 30, and Ana Deli Lumbreras, 31, along with a 13-year-old boy and two girls ages 6 and 3. Seguin police said all five died from the impact. The crash shut down part of Interstate 10 for nearly five hours while first responders worked the scene.

Family social media posts indicated the victims were related, and officials said they were from Porter in Montgomery County.

Police identify the victims and confirm they were from Porter

The Seguin Police Department identified the adults as Omar Lumbreras Oliva and Ana Deli Lumbreras. In addition to the two adults, the vehicle carried a 13-year-old boy and two young girls.

Officials said the family lived in Porter, Texas, about a Houston-area community in Montgomery County. Social media messages from relatives pointed to the crash victims being members of the same family, though police have not described their relationships beyond what was visible in those posts.

The identification gave a clearer picture of the scale of the tragedy, which involved five fatalities in a single vehicle. Authorities have not released any additional details about where the family had been headed before the crash.

The SUV veered off the road and fell from the overpass

City of Seguin Public Information Officer Jennifer Sourdellia said the group was traveling east in a black Chevrolet Tahoe when it drifted off the roadway. The vehicle then went off the overpass and landed on FM 725.

That sequence left the SUV on the road below the highway, where emergency crews responded after the wreck. Seguin police said none of the five survived the collision.

The crash was reported as a single-vehicle incident, meaning no other car was said to be directly involved. Investigators are still trying to determine exactly why the Tahoe left the roadway.

Rain and wet pavement are part of the investigation

Officials said the weather may have been a factor. Rain fell in the area, and the road was wet at the time of the crash, according to local authorities.

Even so, investigators have not said whether the conditions caused the SUV to leave the overpass. Police said the crash remains under investigation, so the exact chain of events has not been determined.

Wet roads can reduce traction, but Seguin officials have not drawn a final conclusion about the role of weather. For now, the condition of the roadway is one of the key details being reviewed by investigators.

Interstate 10 was closed for hours as crews cleared the scene

The wreck caused a major traffic disruption on Interstate 10, which was closed for more than five hours while responders handled the crash site. That closure affected drivers in and around Seguin during the afternoon and evening hours.

First responders worked both the highway and the road below to secure the area and investigate the scene. Officials did not immediately provide a timeline for when the roadway fully reopened, but the closure lasted long enough to create an extended shutdown.

The overpass crash also highlighted how quickly a single-vehicle wreck can turn into a large emergency response when it involves a fall from an elevated roadway.

A family tragedy leaves investigators with unanswered questions

Because all five victims died, investigators may have limited witness accounts from the people inside the SUV. That can make it harder to reconstruct how the vehicle drifted off the road in the first place.

Authorities have not said whether speed, distraction, a mechanical issue or another factor played any role. For now, police are focusing on the facts they can confirm: the SUV left the highway, fell to the road below and everyone inside was killed.

As the investigation continues, the community is left with the loss of a family that officials say was traveling together through Seguin when the crash happened.
