A young Texas Highway Patrol trooper died over the weekend after he was wounded while investigating a car crash.

The Texas Department of Public Safety (TXDPS) announced the death of Trooper Kevin Alexis Ramirez Vasquez, 25, in a press release on Sunday. Ramirez Vasquez was responding to an accident when he was “struck by a vehicle” on Tuesday morning.

“Trooper Ramirez Vasquez suffered serious injuries and was taken to Medical Center Hospital in Odessa,” the department said. “He was then airlifted to a Lubbock-area hospital where he succumbed to his injuries on Sept. 28.”

The trooper, who is survived by his parents and three siblings, joined the TXDPS in 2023 and was stationed in Odessa. He had also served in the U.S. military, both before and during his time as a trooper.
