One person was flown to a trauma center. Officials did not release the names of those injured or provide additional details about the vehicles involved.
The Texas Department of Public Safety is investigating what caused the crash. Our thoughts are with those affected as they continue to recover.
Where the Crash Happened: FM 678 and County Road 152
The reported location is the intersection of FM 678 and County Road 152 near Callisburg. Farm-to-market roads and county roads often serve local traffic, rural properties, and through drivers moving between communities.
That setting matters because intersection crashes in rural or semi-rural areas can involve limited shoulders, fewer nearby access points for emergency crews, and longer traffic control zones while responders work. The need to free a trapped person also means investigators and firefighters likely had to preserve enough space around the wreckage for rescue equipment.

Why Head-On Crashes Often Cause Serious Injuries
Head-on crashes can produce severe injuries because the force of two vehicles meeting from opposite directions is concentrated in a small impact area. In this case, the crash was serious enough that one person had to be cut free from the wreckage and one person was flown to a trauma center.
Those response details are important, but they do not explain why the vehicles collided. Investigators will need to determine the path of each vehicle, where the impact occurred, and whether roadway position, traffic control, or other factors played any role.
How this crash is investigated
Texas Department of Public Safety investigators will likely review vehicle damage, roadway marks, debris, final vehicle positions, and witness statements. In a head-on crash, the point of impact and each vehicle’s lane position before the collision are especially important.
The initial report did not identify a cause. Until DPS releases more information, the crash should not be attributed to speed, distraction, impairment, right-of-way, or any other factor.
What to do after a serious crash in Texas
After a serious crash, the official report can help document the involved vehicles, the responding agency, the crash location, and findings that may not be available in early news updates.
In Texas, crash reports are handled by the Texas Dept. of Transportation (TxDOT) — custodian of records via CRIS. The official portal is the CRIS Public Portal — cris.dot.state.tx.us/public/Purchase. The report forms listed for Texas are CR-3 (report); CR-91 (mail request).
Texas’s listed report fee is $6 regular; $8 certified (online via CRIS, credit/debit). Officers have 10 days to file; ~4 business days TxDOT processing (often 7-10 business days available). Reports may be requested by parties with proper interest get unredacted; others receive redacted copy (§ 550.065(c)). Texas has not a fixed public window — eligibility-based redaction.
Further details may be released after the Texas Department of Public Safety completes its review.
