Runaway Trailer Causes Fatal Crash on FM 2288

A fatality is suspected in a major crash on FM 2288 near the bridge over the Potts Creek just south of the Old Sterling City Highway.

From inspecting the scene of the crash, it looks like a trailer containing miscellaneous cargo and a Kawasaki ATV detached from a RV traveling northbound. The runaway trailer caused at least one vehicle to crash on the bridge. We believe the fatality is in that vehicle.
