Two people are dead in separate accidents around the Brazos Valley.

The first happened about 7:30 p.m. Friday Texas 30, about four miles east of College Station.

The Department of Public Safety says Lisa Marie Carey, 23, of Huntsville was killed when she swerved to miss a cow in the highway.

Carey's pickup ran off the road and hit a tree.

She was pronounced dead at the scene.

It was a three car wreck about three miles north of Hearne that killed one person and injured five others.

That driver, Thomas Ray Ballew, 22, of Bryan, was taken to St. Joseph Health Center where he died.

A third driver swerved to avoid the accident and hit a tree.

Of the five people injured, two were treated and released.

Three others were in stable condition.
