December 3, 2021 - State Highway 87 South just past the intersection of FM 414 was the scene of a single-vehicle crash Friday, December 3, 2021.
According to Texas Department of Public Safety State Trooper David Shields, at around 6:30am a Grey 2005 Dodge Durango occupied by an 18-year-old male with a 16-year-old male was southbound on State Highway 87 South.

The Durango then traveled up an embankment and rolled multiple time before coming to rest upright facing the roadway.
The driver and passenger were examined by Emergency Medical Services at the scene and they refused treatment for minor injuries.
No citations were issued at the time of the crash and the Durango was towed from the scene.
Shelby County Sheriff’s Department, Shelbyville Volunteer Fire Department and Center Police Department assisted with traffic control until the scene was clear.
