Bedelin Alegria was identified as the driver of a white Ford F-150 that collided with a sedan at the intersection of Beddoes Road and Business 83 early Thursday morning, according to La Feria police Investigator Hector Zuniga.

The occupants of the sedan, Maria Macias, 37, and her 12-year-old daughter, were severely injured in the crash, Zuniga said. Macias was pronounced dead at Valley Baptist Medical Center.
