Young County, TX (10/1/2020) – A fatal three-vehicle wreck left one dead and two injured in Young County.

The accident happened around 12:45 p.m. Thursday afternoon on Highway 114 in Loving. A semi-truck pulling an empty trailer was headed eastbound on Highway 114 in Loving. A Toyota pickup headed northbound on Highway 16 failed to stop at an intersection and struck the semi on the passenger side. That led the semi to be pushed into traffic westbound on Highway 114, striking a Ford SUV in the process. The semi-truck then jack-knifed and came to rest on its roof in the south ditch of Highway 114.

The driver of the Toyota pickup was pronounced dead on the scene.

The driver of the SUV was airlifted from the scene to a nearby hospital. Their condition remains unknown.

The driver of the semi-truck received minor injuries and was not transported.

Crash investigators will review all factors that may have led up to the accident and police reports will be made available in fourteen days.
