According to initial details about the accident, it happened near the intersection of FM 1375 and Jones Road.
Officials said that a 56-year-old man was in a Dodge Ram going northeast along the roadway. That vehicle reportedly left its lane, and it crashed along the roadway. Due to this, the Dodge driver sustained serious injuries.

Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman
When a single vehicle leaves the roadway and the driver is badly hurt, early reports usually stop at “the vehicle left its lane.” That description tells us what happened, but it doesn’t answer the far more important question—why did it happen?
Did investigators conduct a thorough review of the crash scene?
Single-vehicle accidents often don’t get the same level of attention as multi-car crashes, but they can be just as complex. A proper reconstruction would mean documenting skid or yaw marks, mapping the roadway, and analyzing how the Ram came to rest. Without that effort, the explanation may remain incomplete.
Could a mechanical or safety defect have been a factor?
A tire blowout, steering issue, or brake failure can all cause a vehicle to drift suddenly. Beyond that, failures in airbags or seatbelts can determine whether the driver walks away or suffers serious injuries. Inspecting the Dodge quickly is the only way to confirm or rule out these possibilities.
Has electronic evidence been preserved?
The truck’s Engine Control Module (ECM) may contain vital details about speed, throttle, braking, and steering inputs leading up to the crash. Additional evidence could come from cellphone records or cameras in the area. Since this information is time-sensitive, securing it early is essential.
At the end of the day, authorities should be able to assure victims and families will get the answers they deserve. If they can't do that, it's only reasonable for people to look for another set of eyes to look things over.
Takeaways:
- Single-vehicle crashes require careful scene analysis, not surface-level conclusions.
- Vehicle or safety system defects may influence both the cause and outcome.
- ECM data, cellphone records, and cameras are crucial for building a full account.
