A fatal semi-truck crash in Collin County claimed the life of a driver and shut down parts of U.S. 75 on Wednesday afternoon. According to the Anna Police Department, the semi-truck was traveling north on U.S. 75 near Rosamond Parkway when it crashed around 3 p.m. The driver was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities said no other vehicles were involved in the crash, and the driver’s name was withheld pending notification of relatives. Investigators are still working to determine what caused the semi-truck to crash. The wreck caused major traffic delays in both directions. Northbound drivers were diverted at Rosamond Parkway, while southbound traffic was routed off at Exit 48B. Police urged drivers to avoid the area as emergency crews worked to clear the scene.
