According to Constable Chad Norvell, the driver of a truck was headed north on FM 359 while the semi was going east on FM 1093.The truck's driver was killed.Power poles were hit during the collision as well as a transformer, knocking out electricity to some neighborhoods. Traffic signals were also knocked down.
CenterPoint Energy is on the scene as an extensive repair to the intersection will be needed. In a 2 p.m. update, authorities said it would be another two to three hours for CenterPoint to restore power and another five to six hours after that to replace signals.
