The Texas Department of Public Safety is investigating a two-vehicle crash that left one man dead.
According to officials, the fatal crash occurred on April 26 at 1:22 p.m. in Refugio County.
"The crash involved a Kenworth truck tractor semi-trailer which was traveling southbound on US-77. The driver attempted to make a right turn onto a private drive and failed to yield the right of way to an oncoming train," stated DPS officials.
The force from the train collision caused the 18-wheeler to turn completely around, detaching from the cab and then rolling over.

DPS Troopers said they will continue to investigate this fatal crash.
