Domenick Chavez: The Reckless Driver Who Killed Laura Lynch of The Chicks in a 100+ MPH Head-On Crash on US 62 A Tragedy That Should Never Have Happened on El Paso’s Highways The stretch of US 62 between El Paso and Dell City is familiar to many West Texas drivers—two lanes, long straightaways, and the kind of quiet that makes it easy to forget just how dangerous speeding can be. On December 22, 2023, that quiet was shattered by a catastrophic collision that claimed the life of Laura Lynch, the original lead singer of the iconic country band The Chicks (formerly the Dixie Chicks).
