Police will be closing down a Texas highway this morning for four hours after four people from Kitchener died in a crash in Texas early Friday morning.

The crash was triggered by a vehicle travelling the wrong way on Interstate 35, in Kyle, south of Austin.

Kim Hilsenbeck who is a Communications Specialist with the City of Kyle tells 570 News crews will be reconstructing the crash using laser technology from 6 a.m. until 10 a.m.

Two men, a woman and a baby in a minivan died at the scene shortly after 1 a.m.

Hilsenbeck identified the dead as 27-year old Margaretha Wall Hildebrandt, 31-year old Heinrich Martens, 30-year old Gerhard Hiebert Peters and 16-month old Jacob Wall Hiebert.

She says two young girls in the minivan were taken to hospital but have since been released into the care of their family, who flew in.
