Seguin, Texas – A devastating crash on Interstate 10 on Sunday afternoon resulted in the deaths of five members of a single family from Porter, Texas. The victims were identified by the Seguin Police Department as Omar Lumbreras Oliva, 30, and Ana Deli Lumbreras, 31, along with their three children – a 13‑year‑old boy and two young girls, ages six and three.
Details of the accident
According to City of Seguin Public Information Officer Jennifer Sourdellia, the family was traveling eastward in a black Chevrolet Tahoe when the vehicle veered off the roadway. The wet conditions from recent rain contributed to the loss of control, and the Tahoe went over the I‑10 overpass, landing on Farm to Market Road 725.
First responders arrived quickly, but the impact was severe. All five occupants were pronounced dead at the scene. The crash forced the closure of the I‑10 corridor for more than five hours while emergency crews worked to secure the site, clear debris, and investigate the cause.
Impact on the community
The tragedy has sent shockwaves through the local community. Residents expressed sympathy on social media, noting the loss of a young family and the suddenness of the event. The Seguin Police Department confirmed that the investigation is ongoing and that no additional vehicles were involved.

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) announced that it will review the stretch of I‑10 where the crash occurred to assess whether additional safety measures, such as improved signage or pavement treatments, are needed.
