Three people were killed and three others were critically injured in a head-on collision on State Highway 105 southwest of Navasota Thursday evening. According to the Texas Department of Public Safety, the crash involved an SUV and a passenger car on the Washington County side of SH 105 near the Brazos River. DPS said a vehicle was attempting to pass in a no-passing zone before the collision. Three critically injured people were transported by helicopter to a hospital. The Washington County Sheriff’s Office said the crash occurred near the Washington-Grimes County line. SH 105 remained closed while troopers investigated the scene. What Happened in the Fatal SH 105 Crash Near Navasota? The collision happened Thursday evening on SH 105 near the Brazos River. DPS reported that the crash involved an SUV and a car and said that an attempted pass in a no-passing zone contributed to the wreck. Three people died, while three others suffered critical injuries requiring helicopter transport to a hospital. Authorities had not yet released the identities of those involved or a complete reconstruction of the crash. Why Passing-Zone Evidence May Matter In a serious head-on collision, investigators may examine whether one vehicle crossed into an opposing lane and, if so, why. Potentially important evidence may include: Roadway centerline and no-passing-zone markings Vehicle damage and final resting positions Skid marks and debris patterns Dash-camera or surveillance footage Witness statements Electronic vehicle data Cellphone records when relevant Crash-scene measurements and photographs If investigators determine that a driver attempted to pass where passing was prohibited, that evidence may become important in evaluating civil liability. However, the full circumstances of this crash remain under investigation. Head-On Collisions Can Involve Severe Injuries Head-on crashes can be especially dangerous because the forces from two vehicles traveling in opposite directions may combine at impact. In addition to fatalities, survivors of serious head-on collisions may suffer traumatic brain injuries, spinal injuries, fractures, internal injuries, and other conditions requiring extensive medical treatment. Wrongful Death Claims After a Fatal Texas Crash When a person is killed because of another driver’s negligence, certain surviving family members may have potential rights under Texas wrongful-death law. A civil investigation can be separate from the DPS investigation and may examine roadway evidence, vehicle data, available video, witness testimony, insurance coverage, and other information needed to determine how the collision occurred.

Two semi-trucks were involved in a collision on westbound Interstate 20 at Houston School Road in Dallas Thursday morning, October 8, 2026. The crash was reported at approximately 9:50 a.m. Additional information about lane closures, injuries, and the circumstances leading to the collision has not yet been released. What Happened in the I-20 Truck Crash at Houston School Road? At this time, it is not clear how the two semi-trucks collided or whether any passenger vehicles were also involved. Because the wreck involved two commercial trucks, investigators may need to examine evidence from both tractor-trailers to determine the sequence of events and whether either driver or motor carrier contributed to the crash. No conclusions should be drawn about fault until the investigation is complete. Evidence That May Matter After a Two-Truck Collision Commercial truck crashes can involve substantial amounts of electronic and company-maintained evidence. Potentially important information may include: Dash-camera and onboard video Electronic logging-device records GPS and telematics data Engine control module information Driver hours-of-service records Dispatch communications Tractor and trailer inspection records Maintenance histories Cargo and loading information Crash-scene photographs and measurements Witness statements When two semi-trucks are involved, preserving records from both trucking companies can be important because each vehicle may contain evidence showing speed, braking, lane position, and driver activity before impact. Why Early Investigation Matters After an 18-Wheeler Wreck Commercial trucks may be repaired and returned to service after a collision, and electronic data may not be preserved indefinitely. A prompt investigation can help document the physical condition of both trucks and identify available video, telematics, driver logs, and other records before evidence is lost or overwritten.

One person was killed in a crash involving an 18-wheeler on northbound Interstate 45 at State Highway 242 near The Woodlands Wednesday afternoon, October 7, 2026. According to ABC13 and Houston TranStar, the collision involved a heavy truck and forced the closure of the right shoulder and three northbound lanes of I-45. Traffic backed up during the afternoon commute while emergency crews and investigators worked the scene.

What Happened in the Fatal I-45 18-Wheeler Crash? The fatal collision occurred on northbound I-45 near SH 242 in the Montgomery County/The Woodlands area. ABC13 reported that an 18-wheeler was involved, but authorities had not yet said how many other vehicles were involved or which vehicle was involved in the initial impact. Houston TranStar cameras showed substantial traffic congestion as three lanes and the shoulder remained blocked. The crash was cleared several hours later. Because the investigation remains ongoing, no conclusions should be drawn about fault. Why a Fatal 18-Wheeler Crash Requires a Detailed Investigation A fatal commercial truck collision can involve important evidence that may not exist in an ordinary passenger-vehicle wreck. Potentially relevant evidence may include: Electronic control module data Dash-camera and onboard truck-camera footage GPS and telematics records Electronic logging-device information Driver hours-of-service records Dispatch communications Tractor and trailer inspection records Brake and tire maintenance histories Cargo and loading records Electronic data from other vehicles Crash-scene photographs and measurements Witness statements This evidence may help investigators determine the truck’s speed, braking, lane position, and movements immediately before the collision. Preserving the 18-Wheeler and Electronic Evidence After a serious truck wreck, the tractor and trailer may eventually be towed, inspected, repaired, or returned to service. An inspection before repairs are made can help document physical evidence involving the truck’s brakes, tires, steering components, trailer systems, lights, and impact damage. The motor carrier may also possess onboard video, driver logs, GPS information, dispatch records, and maintenance documents that could help explain what happened. Wrongful Death Claims After a Fatal Texas Truck Wreck When a person is killed in a crash caused by negligence, certain surviving family members may have potential rights under Texas wrongful-death law. A civil investigation is separate from the police investigation and may examine the truck driver, motor carrier, vehicle condition, company safety practices, insurance coverage, and any other factors that may have contributed to the collision. At this stage, authorities have not publicly identified the cause of the crash or determined who was responsible. Injured in a Texas 18-Wheeler Wreck?
