FM 2026 Scene of Single-Vehicle Crash Through Pipe Fence

August 23, 2020 - FM 2026 was the scene of a single-vehicle crash through a pipe fence on August 15, 2020.

According to Texas Department of Public Safety State Trooper Keith Jones, at around 10:30pm a white 2012 Dodge pickup truck driven by Frisco Cole Olvera, 21, was eastbound on FM 2026. 

The truck was traveling at an unsafe speed when it entered into a left-hand curve and exited the right side of the roadway, formerly CR 1039. Olvera took faulty evasive action, over-correcting left, before entering into a side-skid where the truck struck a road sign before traveling through a ditch. 

Following the ditch, the truck then traveled through a pipe fence where it came to rest on the other side on McAdams Propane property on its top.

Olvera was transported by ambulance to Nacogdoches Medical Center - Shelby Emergency Department for possible injuries. 

He was issued a citation for unsafe speed.
