Sequence of Events

Preliminary investigations into the crash highlighted a sequence of events that led to the tragic collision. Vehicle 1, driven by Than Than Shwe, failed to maintain its lane while traveling southwest on US 70, initiating the chain of events that followed. The GMC Yukon, traveling southeast in the left lane, was overtaking Vehicle 3 in the right lane when Vehicle 1 lost control on a curved section of the road. Subsequently, Vehicle 1 veered over the cable barrier, crossed the median, entered the opposite lane, and collided head-on with the GMC Yukon. Despite the best efforts of Vehicle 3 to evade the collision, it was unable to avoid the impact, resulting in further damage.

Sgt. Gutierrez has issued an appeal for assistance in locating a missing pet Goldendoodle named Allie from Vehicle 2. Anyone with information is urged to contact Sgt. Gutierrez at 254-413-8786 to aid in the search efforts.
