It happened at 620 and Comanche Trail in Travis County just after 8:30 Tuesday night.
Texas Department of Public Safety investigators say an SUV was stopped at a red light when a pickup truck hit it from behind.
Troopers say the driver of the pickup truck, identified as Michael Winders, 40, of Round Rock, couldn't stop in time.
It’s unclear how fast he was going when he hit the SUV, but troopers say the impact killed Josefina Delgado, 7.
