PAIGE, Texas (AP) — A Texas woman has died after a rock flew off of a semitrailer and through her car window during a crash.
Two cars and two semitrailers were involved in the wreck Tuesday on U.S. 290 in Paige. Bastrop County authorities tell KXAN-TV the semi carrying rocks swerved into oncoming traffic in an attempt to avoid another one that was waiting to turn. A load of large rocks spilled across the highway and struck the car.
The woman was declared dead at the scene. Her husband was flown to an area hospital. One of the truck drivers was taken to another hospital.
Their conditions are unclear and none of the people involved have been identified.
Traffic was closed for about four hours while authorities cleared the road.
State authorities are investigating.
