A weather-related crash claimed the life of a man Friday in Curry County.

Officials say Francisco Galindo Jr. was headed west on US 60/70/84 with his wife, Angela Eggert and their two-year-old daughter when his vehicle began to hydroplane and he lost control near Curry Road "C". The pickup went off the road and struck a tree.

All three were taken to a hospital, where Mr. Galindo later died from his injuries. The condition of the wife and daughter is unknown at this time. Officials continue to investigate this crash.
