A late morning crash that occurred near Colmesneil on the morning of Wednesday, Feb. 9, claimed two lives.
According to Texas Department of Public Safety Sergeant Shana Clark, the crash occurred shortly after 11 a.m. on US 287 at the FM 256 turnoff, which is located six miles northwest of Woodville and between Woodville and Colmesneil.
According to Clark’s report, a 2020 Kia SUV was westbound on FM 256 when the driver failed to yield to the right-of-way at the intersection and pulled out in front of a fully loaded log truck, which was northbound on 287.
Clark said the log truck hit the driver side of the Kia and rolled over into a ditch.
The driver and the passenger of the SUV, who were later identified as John and Pamela Crenshaw, ages 71 and 62, respectively, of Brookeland, were pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the log truck was identified as Christopher Faulkenberry, 31, of Woodville. He was not injured.
