A woman was killed early Monday morning in a head-on collision not far from Ascarate Park.
It happened at about 3 a.m. on the 4700 block of Delta.
El Paso Police say the woman was killed because she was using her cell phone while driving.
Police say witnesses told them they saw 40-year-old Susan Flores on her phone and not paying attention to the road when she drove into oncoming traffic, hitting a truck.
She died at University Medical Center.
Two other people in the truck had minor injuries.
Police say 29-year-old Belen Rosas was driving drunk and crashed into the car and truck.
Rosas is in the county jail, charged with DWI.

Rosas allegedly had a blood alcohol content almost twice the legal limit.
