Officials identified 69-year-old Kennon Mulhollan, of New Braunfels, as the man who lost his life following a crash Thursday afternoon in wintry conditions.

As per the initial information, the fatal single-vehicle accident took place at about 2:25 p.m. in the 800 block of Highway 46 South at River Tree Drive. The preliminary reports showed that a Ford F-150 pickup truck was going in the wrong lanes of traffic — heading northbound in the southbound lanes — when it veered off the roadway, drove onto the grassy shoulder and crashed into a utility pole.

The driver of the truck was thrown from the vehicle due to the impact. He succumbed to his injuries at the scene. The roadway was shut down for five hours while crews worked to repair a traffic signal that was damaged in the crash and for the fatality investigation. Officers believe that weather played a part in the crash. No other details are available.

An investigation is ongoing.
