Odessa, TX – Emilee Attwood Killed in Crash on Ranch to Market 2020

Odessa, TX (July 29, 2020) – A vehicle collision reported on Monday morning claimed one victim’s life and left a second victim seriously injured in the Odessa area. At approximately 2:30 a.m., on July 27, the Texas Department of Public Safety responded to the site of a motor vehicle accident on Ranch to Market 2020.

Reports provided by DPS show that Cody Harrison was driving a car down Ranch to Market 2020 when it broke down for reasons unknown. Harrison pulled the vehicle to the side of the road. After some time, Emilee Attwood stopped near Harrison’s vehicle to provide help. As the two individuals stood near the vehicle on the side of the road, they were both struck by a car driven by 20-year-old Andres Ramirez-Fernandez.

Attwood sustained fatal injuries in the accident and was immediately declared deceased. Harrison sustained non-incapacitating injuries and was transported to an area hospital for treatment. At this time, DPS is investigating the circumstances surrounding the crash.

Our thoughts are with Cody Harrison at this time. We hope for their full recovery.

We would like to offer our condolences to the family of Emilee Attwood at this time.
