Navasota, TX (April 7, 2024) - On Friday, April 5, one person was killed and several others were injured after a crash involving an 18-wheeler in the Navasota area. The deadly accident was reported at the crossing of TX-105 and County Road 446 early that morning around 7:43 a.m. Local reports revealed that a 2015 Freightliner truck was traveling eastbound on the highway as a 2021 Nissan passenger vehicle was traveling west at the time of the crash. 

The driver of the Nissan, 29-year-old Kaylin Corbin of Benbrook, veered into oncoming traffic and crashed head-on with the oncoming semi. Corbin and a three-year-old passenger were transported to St. Joseph Regional Health Hospital for treatment of serious injuries. A four-year-old passenger was taken by medical helicopter to Memorial Hermann in serious condition. 

The front-seat passenger, 31-year-old Jon Archer of Benbrook, sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene. No other injuries were reported in the accident. No further updates on the deadly collision are currently available. An ongoing investigation into the cause of the accident is being managed by local law enforcement officials. 

We would like to offer our deepest condolences to the family of the deceased victim at this time. Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families in hopes of a full recovery. 

Deadly 18-Wheeler Crashes in Texas

Texas reports a disproportionate amount of truck accidents that result in fatalities each year. Approximately 10 percent of all trucking accidents that occur in the United States every year occur on the state's roads. The most recent crash figures show that there are approximately 300 fatalities and 2,000 injuries in every 15,000 semi-truck collisions across the Lone Star State, and there were more than 19,000 recorded commercial vehicle crashes in 2022. These accidents claimed the lives of 685 people and injured 3,820 others.
