As per the initial information, the fatal semi-truck crash took place on FM 1660 near FM 973 at about 2 a.m. The early reports showed that one 18-wheeler with a flatbed trailer carrying large steel pipes was heading eastbound on FM 1660. The other 18-wheeler was traveling northbound on FM 973.
The first 18-wheeler reportedly collided with the second one. The driver of one of the 18-wheelers succumbed to their injuries after the wreck.
