Accident Report

Kerr County, TX — July 16, 2026, Joey May was killed in a truck accident just after midnight on Interstate 10 south of Noxville.

Authorities said a 2007 Ford Ranger was stopped perpendicular to traffic when it was struck by a 2018 Freightliner semi-truck that had been heading northwest.

Ford driver Joey Michael May, who apparently was outside of his pickup at the time of the crash, was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident, according to authorities.

The truck driver, 34, was not hurt, authorities said.

Authorities have not released any additional information about the Kerr County crash at this time.

How Did This Accident Occur?

Why was the Ford stopped on I-10? Did the driver make any effort to move it out of the road? Was the pickup visible to oncoming traffic? Were any other vehicles able to avoid it before it was hit by the semi-truck? Was the truck driver distracted or fatigued? Did the truck have an issue with its brakes or steering mechanism? These are the kind of questions that authorities must consider as they investigate this crash.

Answers will come as investigators scrutinize vehicle data, physical evidence, witness statements and any available video footage, while cell phone footage could show what the truck driver was doing at the time.

A forensic examination will be needed if authorities suspect a mechanical problem played a role in this accident. It should be done by a qualified expert, since most law enforcement agencies don’t have the time or training for such inspections, in my experience.

This investigation should give the Ford driver’s family a clear picture of what happened on I-10.
