Area authorities are investigating a two-vehicle crash that injured a pair of teens at US 77 in Victoria County, TX on January 4th, 2022. Police are saying it happened around 5:45 a.m. A tractor-trailer operated by a 43-year-old Victoria, TX man was stopped at the intersection of US 77 and Blue Quail Court.
