Candice BondTwo drivers were injured in a truck crash at State Highway 105 and Tram Road in Jefferson County on October 28, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.
What Happened at SH 105 and Tram Road
At about 7:05 a.m. Wednesday, the collision was reported at the intersection near the Beaumont city limits. Sgt. Shana Clark of the Texas Department of Public Safety said a Dodge pickup was heading east on SH 105 when its driver tried to turn left onto Tram Road. A westbound Mazda SUV and the pickup collided, and the Dodge overturned. The Mazda's driver, a 17-year-old girl from Beaumont, was taken to a hospital with injuries that were not considered life-threatening. Her 13-year-old passenger was not hurt. The pickup's driver, a 51-year-old woman from Beaumont, was also taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
How Traffic and the Investigation Stand Now
Ambulance crews took both drivers from the scene after responders from Jefferson County Emergency Services District No. 1, the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office and the Department of Public Safety arrived. Westbound traffic was shut down and one eastbound lane was closed while crews worked. All lanes have since reopened. Sgt. Clark described the findings as preliminary, and no charges have been announced.
Investigators often ask nearby homes and businesses for camera video soon after a crash. Many systems record over old footage after a few days or weeks, so they move fast.
