McLendon-Chisholm, TX — December 25, 2023, two people were injured in a car accident shortly after 8:30 p.m. along Farm to Market 550.
According to reports, two men—both age 35—were traveling in a southeast bound Dodge Avenger on F.M. 550 approaching the Smith Road intersection when the incident took place.

At a left-hand curve in the road, the vehicle reportedly veered off of the right side of the roadway where it struck a mailbox before continuing in a southeast direction.
