What Happened

Area authorities have information on a crash that injured a driver at State Hwy 97 in Gonzales County, TX on December 2nd, 2021. Police say the incident happened around 7:44 a.m. with heavy fog in the area producing low visibility for drivers. A tractor-trailer was making a left turn onto northbound Hwy 97 and had mostly completed the turn when the back rear corner was struck by an Isuzu van operated by 45-year-old Randy Tovar Sr. Tovar suffered serious injures in the collision while the truck driver, a 57-year-old man from Flatonia, was not injured. Investigators say the intersection involved featured a stop sign on the road the truck was turning from while the van had no stop sign, indicating a potential failure to yield scenario. Reports indicate a Failure to Maintain Financial Responsibility charge for Tovar was recommended and/or issued.
