why do you guys just do half stories and never follow up and finish. So what actually happened on this accident? Don’t yall ever ask the officers what happened?

It is DPS policy to refer all crash scene investigation findings to the public affairs officer. Troopers no longer talk to media at the crash scene. This policy has been in place since sometime last year. We do follow up on these stories once the DPS releases the crash report. Sometimes it takes a couple days. This was not the case back when we first started, from 2013-2017. The Tom Green Sheriff's Office usually follows this same policy. San Angelo police will talk at crash scenes. We attempt to get more information when we are able and someone is willing to talk at the scene.

I drove this section of US 87 in my 3500HD the same day as this accident, and they have one lane torn out to be repaved and cones so far into the open lane that in spots it was impossible to keep all of a dually's tires on the pavement. It is particularly bad on the west bound side. I was on it during the day and it was scary to drive. I'm surprised there aren't multiple accidents on that section every night.
