Williamson County, TX (June 30, 2026) – A semi-truck driver was killed on Monday afternoon, June 29, in a crash involving a semi-truck and an Audi SUV at SH 130 and Chandler Road in Williamson County, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.
DPS said troopers responded around 12:51 p.m. on June 29 to the two-vehicle crash. A preliminary investigation found that the Audi SUV was turning left when it collided with the semi-trailer.
After the impact, the semi-truck went over the side of an overpass and landed on the main lanes of southbound SH 130. DPS said the semi-truck driver was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Audi SUV had three occupants, including two children. All three were taken to a local hospital.
The southbound lanes of SH 130 remained closed as troopers investigated and crews worked to clear the scene.
The collision remains under investigation. Our condolences go out to the victim’s friends and family, and we wish those injured a swift and full recovery.
Where the Crash Happened: SH 130 and Chandler Road
The reported location is the intersection of SH 130 and Chandler Road in Williamson County. This is a state highway and overpass setting where turning traffic, commercial vehicles, and mainline highway traffic can all be affected by a single collision.
The overpass detail is especially important because the crash did not remain confined to the intersection. When a vehicle leaves an elevated roadway and lands on the main lanes below, investigators and responders must manage evidence and traffic control across multiple sections of the roadway.

Why Overpass Collisions With Semi-Trucks Are Especially Complex
Crashes involving semi-trucks can be severe due to the size and weight of the vehicles. In this case, the crash became even more complex when the semi-truck went over the side of an overpass and came to rest on the southbound main lanes of SH 130.
That kind of scene requires investigators to look at both the intersection-level impact and the area below the overpass. Troopers may need to determine where the collision occurred, how the semi-truck left the elevated roadway, and how the vehicle’s final position affected traffic on the highway below.
How This Crash Is Investigated
DPS investigators will likely review the turning path at Chandler Road, vehicle damage, roadway marks, debris, traffic-control layout, final vehicle positions, and witness statements. Because the crash involved a semi-truck, investigators may also examine commercial vehicle records and any available dashcam or roadway camera footage.
The preliminary findings describe the reported vehicle movements, but the crash remains under investigation. DPS should provide additional conclusions after investigators complete their review.
What to Do After a Fatal Collision in Texas
Following a fatal pedestrian collision, the official crash report can provide families and other involved parties with information documented by investigators through their scene examination, witness interviews, and evidence assessment.
In Texas, crash reports are maintained by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) through the Crash Records Information System (CRIS). The state’s official report portal is the CRIS Public Portal. The primary forms associated with Texas crash reports are the CR-3 crash report and the CR-91 mail-in request form.
Texas charges $6 for a standard crash report and $8 for a certified copy when purchased online through CRIS using a credit or debit card. Law enforcement agencies generally have up to 10 days to submit crash reports, and TxDOT processing typically takes about 4 business days, although reports are often available within 7 to 10 business days. Individuals with a qualifying interest in the crash may obtain an unredacted report, while other requesters receive a redacted version under Texas Transportation Code § 550.065(c). Rather than using a fixed public release period, Texas determines access based on eligibility and applicable redaction requirements.
More information may be released after the Texas Department of Public Safety completes its review of the Williamson County crash.
