The report indicates that at approximately 6:05 p.m., a 2004 Ford F-150 was traveling west, followed by a 1998 Ford Expedition. The Ford F-150 and Ford Expedition slowed to avoid striking a dog that entered the roadway, when the driver of a 2006 Dodge Ram failed to control his speed and struck the rear of the Expedition, which was then pushed into the F-150.

The driver of the Ford F-150, 35-year-old Lisa Hall of Trinity, was transported to a hospital in Huntsville for treatment and one passenger was transported to CHI Lufkin for treatment.
