A single-vehicle rollover crash on FM 1102 in Comal County killed two people and injured four others overnight, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety. Troopers responded to the scene, just south of Winding Way, around 12:48 a.m. to find a white Ford F-250 that had overturned after leaving the roadway.
According to a preliminary DPS investigation reported by KSAT, the pickup was traveling north on FM 1102 when it veered off the right side of the road. The driver then overcorrected to the left, “causing the vehicle to slide sideways and leave the road before it overturned,” per the preliminary findings. Two passengers were ejected during the crash and pronounced dead at the scene.
Driver Remains in Critical Condition
The driver was transported to a medical facility in San Antonio and remains in critical condition, the outlet reports. Three other passengers were also taken to various medical facilities for treatment of their injuries, though the extent of those injuries has not been detailed.
As of Sunday evening, the identities of the two people who died had not been released. The investigation into the crash is ongoing, and no additional information was available, the report notes.
Another Deadly Comal County Crash
The rollover adds to a string of serious wrecks on Comal County roadways this year. A separate incident occurred on January 22, 2023, when DPS said seven people died in a head-on collision in the 3100 block of FM 2722 near Buffalo Spring Road, about five miles northwest of New Braunfels, according to CBS Austin. In that crash, DPS said a westbound Ford F-150 veered into the eastbound lane and struck a Chrysler Aspen head-on, leaving a juvenile passenger in the Aspen in critical condition.
No further details have been released about the FM 1102 crash, and DPS has not said what may have caused the driver to leave the roadway in the first place. Hoodline will update this story as more information becomes available.
