Just before noon this morning, an Early woman was killed in a fatal crash on US 67, about 2.5 miles east of Comanche.

According to a Department of Public Safety report, the driver of a 2013 Mack truck tractor pulling a semi-trailer, James Luther Morrow, 52, of Cleburne was traveling west on US 67, about 2.5 miles east of Comanche, followed by the driver of a 2001 Toyota passenger vehicle, Carla Lee Willis, 33, of Stephenville. At the same time, Amber Diane Corley, 30, of Early was traveling eastbound on US 67 in a 2015 Ford passenger vehicle. Corley veered into eastbound oncoming traffic and crashed into the truck tractor, and the Toyota sustained damage from the debris, said DPS officials.
