"TOM GREEN SHERIFF: HIGHWAY 67 SOUTH BETWEEN TWIN BUTTES MARINA AND FM 2335 IS CLOSED IN BOTH DIRECTIONS DUE TO A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT."
Then, at 6:11 a.m., another Nixle was issued that reiterated US 67 was still closed. US 67 is shut down from the Mertzon/Dove Creek split all the way to the Pre-Ze gas station. No word has been given as to when the highway will re-open.

Individuals with the Dove Creek Volunteer Fire Department said they were unsure about fatalities as apparently a truck hauling a trailer down US 67 lost its trailer and a car hit the trailer.
The Department of Public Safety is investigating the crash and San Angelo LIVE! has reached out for more information. Those traveling will not be able to drive US 67 and will have to find another way.
