A two tractor-trailer collision near La Pryor, Texas on Texas Highway 57 South at approximately 7:30 A.M. on Wednesday, June 4, 2014, claimed the life of at least one person and others injured, announced a representative of the Texas Department of Public Transportation.
The tragic accident has caused heavy metal debris be littered across Texas Highway 57 forcing the closure of Highway 57 travel near La Pryor, Texas in Zavala County for an expected six to eight hours. Travelers from Eagle Pass to San Antonio are asked to take an alternate travel route other than Highway 57 as it will be closed for most of the day to investigate the accident and clear the debris on the highway. Similarly, travelers from San Antonio to Eagle Pass are requested to take U.S. Highway 90 to Uvalde, Texas and then the Old Uvalde Road to Highway 57 near Eagle Pass, or, in the alternative, to take IH-35 to Pearsall or Dilley and then to Carrizo Springs, Texas to Eagle Pass.
The two tractor-trailer accident is under investigation by the Texas Department of Public Safety and assisted by the Zavala County Sheriff’s Department.
The name of the deceased person is unknown as of press time, as well as the names of the drivers of the vehicles involved in the accident.
