ALLEN, Texas — A fatal two-vehicle wreck early on June 29 along U.S. Highway 75 left one person dead and another injured.
Emergency crews responded at around 6:55 a.m. just south of the Bethany Drive overpass along the southbound side of the freeway.
Rodolfo Rodriguez, age 52, of Garland, drove a white Chevrolet Malibu that struck the back of a stopped tractor-trailer. Responders found Rodriguez unresponsive and trapped inside the car. He was pronounced dead at the scene, according to the Collin County Medical Examiner.
A passenger in the Chevrolet went to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, authorities said.
The tractor-trailer driver, a 52-year-old man from Garland, was not hurt and cooperated at the scene.
Authorities did not release any additional information as they continue to investigate.
