Texas A&M University was Thursday mourning the loss of an Aggie football player, 22-year-old Joseph Villavisencio.
Villavisencio was killed in a head-on collision on Highway 39, south of Normangee — about 115 miles north of Houston — Thursday according to an A&M statement cited by myFOXhouston.com.
The senior offensive lineman was on his way home to Jacksonville, Texas, when according to witnesses, he swerved to avoid a buzzard on the roadway and went directly into the path of an oncoming 18-wheeler.
