Texas Department of Public Safety Troopers are investigating a crash on Farm-to-Market Road 3188, near the 680-mile marker, that occurred Wednesday.

Reports indicate that at approximately 8:40 p.m., a 2022 Dodge Ram pickup was traveling northwest, and the driver failed to negotiate a curve safely and traveled into the ditch, where he struck a tree and overturned, causing the driver to be ejected.

The driver, 45-year-old James Morroe of Trinity, was transported to Memorial Hermann for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.

This is an ongoing investigation.

On Nov. 14, Trinity firefighters responded to a major accident on State Highway 19 and Roberts Place.

The two-vehicle collision sent both drivers to the hospital, and the southbound lanes of 19 were closed for approximately 35 minutes to remove the vehicles from the roadway.

Reports indicate that Melinda Hernandez, 54, was driving southbound on 19 when John Michael Zaleski, 19, pulled out in front of her vehicle.

Trinity Police Chief Daniel Kee said Zaleski may not have allowed enough time, and the two vehicles collided.

The investigation is continuing.
