Pecos County, Texas (November 16, 2017) – A pickup truck crashed into a semi-trailer killing two people and sending two others to the hospital on Tuesday afternoon in Pecos County.
A report by the Department of Public Safety troopers indicates that a semi-trailer was being towed by a truck-tractor when the crash happened at about 1:03 p.m. Tuesday, November 14 at  FM 1053, 14 miles north of Fort Stockton.
The truck-tractor, a 2015 Freightliner was pulling the semi northbound on FM 1053 when the driver slowed down to turn left into a private roadway, according to troopers.
A 2016 Toyota Tundra pickup was also traveling northbound behind the Freightliner and the pickup driver, noticing the tractor was slowing down, attempted to drive past the vehicle.
The tractor had already made a turn, and as the pickup driver tried to return to the northbound lane, the pickup crashed into the semi-trailer pulled by the tractor.

The driver of the pickup and another passenger suffered injuries and were taken to a hospital.
