Two injuries reported in a late Thursday afternoon accident involving an overturned 18-wheeler in Newton County.
The crash occurred shortly after 4:00 at the intersection of Farm to Market Roads 1416 & 2460 in the Biloxi Community, about 10 miles east of Kirbyville.
Texas Department of Public Safety Sergeant Shana Clark said the truck was traveling northbound on FM 1416 when the driver went around a curve at an unsafe speed, and the big-rig rolled over.
Clark said both the male driver and a female passenger were transported to St Elizabeth Hospital in Beaumont for treatment. Their names or the severity of their injuries were not immediately available.
