According to the Texas Department of Public Safety, on September 9, at around 11:30 p.m., troopers were dispatched to FM 1929 just 11 miles south of Voss for the report of a major motor vehicle accident. 

When they arrived, they discovered a 2001 Ford F-250 rolled over in the side of the road with the driver ejected from the vehicle.
