The two-vehicle accident happened right outside Falfurrias in Brooks County, on US 281 at approximately 3:45 a.m., Jan. 25.

"A 2015 Dodge Charger passenger car (occupied by a male driver only) was traveling south on US 281. For unknown reasons the driver of the Charger drove off the roadway to the left into the center median and veered onto the northbound lane and US 281 and struck the Kenworth truck tractor semi-trailer head-on."
