One witness on scene tells KBTX the semi appears to have been hauling granite and marble and cell phone video from the scene shows shattered pieces scattered across the highway.
It could take some time for the debris to be removed and parts of Highway 6 southbound could be closed throughout Sunday morning.
Manny Contreras is one of the good samaritans who stopped to help the truck driver out of the vehicle following the crash. He told us the driver had some injuries but it didn’t appear to be anything life-threatening.
No word yet on what caused the crash but Contreras said the driver mentioned something about a deer in the roadway.
