The University of the Southwest students, including one from Portugal and one from Mexico, and the coach were returning from a golf tournament when a pickup truck crossed into the opposite lane on a darkened, two-lane West Texas highway before colliding head-on with their van. A man in the pickup and a 13-year-old boy were also killed in the crash. 

The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the crash.
