What Happened

Texas Department of Public Safety officials are investigating a crash that injured two people at FM 1017 Rd in Hidalgo County, TX on April 1st, 2022. Police say the incident happened around 7:59 p.m. According to investigators, a Ford F-150 operated by 27-year-old Ricardo Hernandez was reportedly parked in the eastbound shoulder of Hwy 186 when it allegedly attempted a u-turn into the path of an approaching tractor-trailer operated by a 58-year-old Harlingen man. The vehicles collided, causing serious injuries to Hernandez and minor injuries to the Harlingen man. Investigators alleged suspicion that Hernandez may have had limited visibility at the time of the u-turn due to a change in elevation in the area. Reports indicate officers recommended and/or issued a Turning When Unsafe charge.
