NEW BRAUNFELS, Comal County, Texas, Nov. 9, 2026 — Two people died, and four others were hurt early on Sunday morning, November 8, when a pickup truck rolled over on Farm-to-Market Road 1102 south of Winding Way in Comal County, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.
A preliminary investigation found that a white Ford F-250 was headed north on FM 1102 when it drifted off the right side of the road. The driver reportedly overcorrected to the left, sending the truck sliding sideways off the roadway before it rolled over. Two passengers were ejected during the crash.
Troopers responded to the scene around 12:48 a.m. Both ejected passengers were pronounced dead at the scene; their names have not been released.
The driver was taken to a medical facility in San Antonio and is listed in critical condition. Three other passengers were taken to area hospitals for treatment of injuries whose extent has not been disclosed. The investigation remains open, and no additional details have been made public.
We are deeply sorry for the losses suffered by the victims' families.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a vehicle roll over?
A rollover usually happens when a vehicle veers off the road, overcorrects, or slides sideways, causing the tires to catch the pavement or shoulder and flip the vehicle. Higher speeds and sudden steering changes increase the chance it will tip.
Do rollovers happen more on certain types of roads?
They are more common on rural roads and highways with narrow shoulders, uneven pavement edges, or limited lighting, where a vehicle that drifts off the roadway has less room to recover before a crash.
What injuries are typical in rollover crashes?
Occupants can suffer head, neck, and spinal injuries, broken bones, and internal injuries. Those not wearing seat belts face a higher risk of being thrown from the vehicle, which usually results in more severe harm.
Can seat belts help prevent ejection in a rollover?
Yes. Properly worn seat belts keep occupants restrained inside the vehicle during a rollover, lowering the risk of being thrown clear of the vehicle, which is usually tied to more serious or fatal injuries.
