Laura Lynch, a founding member of country pop band The Dixie Chicks, died on Friday at age 65, The Texas Department of Public Safety confirmed.

The musician died on Friday at around 5:45 p.m. MST after being involved in a car collision on a highway near El Paso, Texas, her cousin told TMZ.

According to a Texas DPS report obtained by HuffPost, a car tried to pass another vehicle on a two-way undivided portion of the highway, and ended up crashing head-on into Lynch’s car.

15. Not that you want a possible answer to this...

But, when someone is driving, following rules and thinking her thoughts because she’s not engaging in risky behavior, she’s not prepared to be slaughtered by some thoughtless jerk trying to thread the needle through highway traffic. The risk taker, on the other hand, is making choices that are keeping him awake and alert, able to be defensive when the accident he’s causing starts to happen. That’s my guess, anyway.

It's surprising how often the drunk driver survives.
