The I-20 Crash Near Mile Marker 502
Police said dispatchers received many 911 calls about a vehicle heading east in the westbound lanes of I-20. While officers were on the way, more callers reported a head-on collision. Police said the preliminary investigation shows a 2022 Chevy Silverado hit a 2023 Ford F-250 and then struck a 2025 GMC Sierra head-on. The Silverado was engulfed in flames, and police said its driver was trapped inside.
Police identified the driver of the Sierra as Nicholas Landwermeyer, of Tyler, who died at the scene at about 2 p.m. The Silverado's driver also died at the scene, and police said officials are still working to confirm who that driver was.
