The Texas Department of Public Safety responded to a one-vehicle crash early Tuesday morning, on US 69 just south of FM 843.

The investigation revealed at approximately 2 a.m. a northbound 2014 Volvo truck tractor, towing two trailers, swerved to avoid a deer and overturned in the northbound lanes, spilling an undetermined amount of diesel from the truck onto the roadway.

The driver is identified as 27-year-old Miles Auguster from Lafayette, Louisiana. Auguster was not injured during the crash.

A Haz-mat team has been notified to conduct clean-up of the spilled diesel fuel.

Motorists are encouraged to use caution in the area while first responders clear the scene.
