Authorities said in preliminary statements that the accident happened in the area of the TX-31 and FM 757 intersection.
According to officials, 23-year-old Stormy Fishburn was in a Ford Fusion going southwest on the highway. A Ford F-150 was going northeast. Police say that a GMC Sierra was going northeast when it failed to control speed. The three vehicles crashed as a result.

How Did This Accident Occur?
When vehicles going opposite directions crash, it’s usually because someone was on their phone or trying to pass traffic without making sure the way was clear. Without further specifics, I can’t say if something like that happened here. I certainly wouldn’t jump to conclusions that someone must have done something wrong. It could just as easily be that a tire blew out, someone had a medical emergency, or road hazards caused someone to lose control of their vehicle. It remains to be seen if those possibilities are getting equal attention.
My concern is what steps authorities have taken to preserve evidence so far. With a chaotic multi-car accident, they can get so caught up in clearing the scene and helping the people involved that they let important evidence leave the scene without first preserving it for later analysis. Maybe authorities here took those steps already, but it’s important to be vigilant of gaps in the story or answers that come up short. Sometimes, that’s just how car accidents go. Other times, it’s a sign that independent investigators need to step in and take another look at the facts.
