A devastating accident on Saturday afternoon has shaken hearts across the country—claiming the lives of five family members from Houston in Leon County, Texas.

The tragic crash occurred on I-45 near Farm-to-Market Road 977. Authorities reported that a Dodge truck traveling south veered off the road, struck a guardrail, crossed the median, and slammed head-on into a Ford truck carrying the Houston family. Both vehicles caught fire. Tragically, all victims were pronounced dead at the scene.

The victims have been identified as:

• Hermenegildo Melendez, 55

• Veronica Cerda, 53

• Veronica Denise Cerda, 26

• Rebecca Cerda, 20

• Daniela Cerda, 18

News of the tragedy quickly spread, touching millions—including golf legend Tiger Woods, who was reportedly left speechless by the heartbreaking story.

In a move no one expected, Tiger quietly reached out to the surviving relatives and offered to cover the funeral expenses for all five victims. But it didn’t stop there.

Woods also pledged a $250,000 donation in the family’s honor to a Houston-based nonprofit that supports victims of road accidents—calling it a “small way to remember lives that mattered deeply.”

Fans have taken to social media to praise Woods for his compassion. “This is the Tiger we don’t always see,” one user wrote. “Not just a legend on the course—but one in life.”
