APD believes a driver was heading the wrong way when they crashed into another vehicle with five people inside.

AUSTIN, Texas — UPDATE: The victim killed in this crash has been identified.

One woman is dead and four others, including three children, are injured after a crash that happened late on Memorial Day in northwest Austin. 

According to a social media post from the Austin Police Department (APD), law enforcement arrived just after midnight Tuesday to the scene of a two-vehicle collision on Research Boulevard and West Braker Lane. 

Officers believe an individual in a white vehicle might have been driving on the wrong side of the road when they crashed into another vehicle carrying five people. 

A woman inside the vehicle was killed and a man was transported to a hospital by life-flight. APD also said there were three children involved in the crash, all of whom were taken to a hospital for minor injuries. 

The suspected wrong-way driver might have minor injuries, as well, according to police.
