(Guadalupe County) — Another accident was added to the books Thursday morning at the intersection of FM 78 and FM 1044 near Marion. Guadalupe County Sheriff’s officials say no injuries were reported in the train versus 18-wheeler accident that occurred just before 11 a.m.
The accident did, however, shut down the roadway to traffic for an extended period of time. The Guadalupe County Commissioners Court has been publicly encouraging the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to speed up its timeline for installing a traffic signal at that location. For years, they say that intersection has caused multiple accidents and in several of those months as many as one accident every two weeks.
Officials say investigation into the crash continues.
