Two vehicles were involved in a Wednesday afternoon collision just north of Kirbyville. It happened during a downpour of rain on Highway 96 at County Road 482, near Kirbyville Missionary Baptist Church.
It appeared that the rear end of a 2006 Honda sedan, which was registered to a Colmesneil woman, was struck by a 2015 Chrysler sedan, which was registered to a Buna man. The Chrysler then went off the highway and struck a utility pole.
Deputies at the scene requested two ambulances. However, the severity of the injuries is not known.
Texas Department of Public Safety Sergeant Richard Standifer said that details about the accident would be delayed. He said that he and other personnel in the Houston DPS Office were dealing with a situation involving a trooper that had been shot by a rifle during a standoff with a barricaded man in the Houston area.
