A Dayton, Texas man died Friday morning after his vehicle was in collision with a truck tractor semi-trailer on State Highway 73.

A Texas Department of Public Safety spokeswoman said Troopers received a report at about 6 a.m. of a multiple-vehicle crash on Highway 73 near Big Hill Road in Jefferson County.

Preliminary reports indicate a 2008 Peterbilt truck tractor semi-trailer was traveling eastbound on SH 73 when the driver of the 18-wheeler slowed to make a right turn onto Wilbur Road. That’s when its trailer “was impacted” by a 2016 Chrysler passenger vehicle, the DPS said in an issued statement.

Justice of the Peace Ray Chesson pronounced the driver of the Chrysler, Joshua Caleb Crunk, dead at the scene.

The driver of the 18-wheeler, Jesus Chapa, 75, of Alvin, Texas, was uninjured.

No further details will be released, DPS said.
