LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - An overnight accident sent four people to the hospital early Tuesday.

At around 1:00 a.m., Travis Tickle, 22 was driving at an unsafe speed down Glenna Goodacre with passenger Matthew Rodriguez, 22. Tickle ran a stop sign at the intersection of Glenna Goodacre and Avenue Q, hitting a pickup truck driven by Luis Mireles, 46, and passenger Yolanda Gonzales, 38.
