U.S. Army Specialist Brittney Delva, 29, lost her life in a single-vehicle car crash early Sunday morning, June 1, on Spur 601 near Loop 375 in El Paso, Texas.

According to officials at Fort Bliss, Delva served as a field artillery cannon crewmember with the 1st Armored Division Artillery. Her vehicle, a four-door Volkswagen sedan, was traveling eastbound around 2 a.m. when it failed to handle a gentle curve, struck a curb, and collided with a concrete barrier.

This marks the second fatal incident involving a Fort Bliss soldier on Spur 601 in recent weeks.

The El Paso police Special Traffic Investigations Unit continues to examine the circumstances surrounding the crash.
