Lubbock Teen Killed in Overnight Traffic Accident

A Lubbock teen is dead following an overnight traffic accident in Lynn County. It happened just after 1:00am Friday morning.

The semi hit the driver's side of Macias' Ford Mustang, sending the vehicle across the highway. Macias was thrown from his vehicle, and pronounced dead on the scene.
