A man in his 20s was killed Thursday morning in a three-vehicle collision on U.S. 290 near Oak Hill after a driver in an SUV disregarded a traffic sign and collided with the man's car, Austin Police Department officials said.

The crash happened shortly before 7 a.m. Thursday near the intersection of U.S. 290 West and RM 1826. Authorities said said an SUV was pulling out of a private drive onto U.S. 290 and turned left in front of several lanes of traffic on the busy highway, despite a sign that said only right turns were allowed.

The SUV collided with a silver car that swerved to avoid a wreck, senior police officer Destiny Silva said. Due to the force of the collision, the silver car continued to slide across the eastbound lanes of traffic and was hit a second time by a truck.

The man who was driving the car was pronounced dead at the scene, officials said. He has not been identified.

The driver of the truck was taken to a hospital with injuries that are not considered to be life-threatening, authorities said.

Police said the driver of the SUV stayed at the scene and was cited for disregarding a posted sign, a Class C misdemeanor. They said intoxication did not play a role in the crash.
