A Houston man died Thursday in a fatal car crash in Nolan County, according to a Texas Department of Public Safety media release.
Cesar Josevan Espinosa Manso, 25, was pronounced deceased at the scene of the crash, and next of kin was notified Thursday afternoon.
According to the DPS preliminary investigation, the crash occurred around 8:15 a.m. Manso was traveling southeast on State Highway 153 in a 2017 Peterbilt towing a semi-trailer.
The second vehicle — a 2020 Kenworth dump truck driven by 60-year-old Todd Gregory Bollinger of Roscoe — was towing a semi-trailer and entered the highway from County Road 196.
Bollinger pulled in front of Manso’s vehicle, according to the DPS investigation detailed in the media release. Manso failed to control his speed and struck the rear of Bollinger’s towed vehicle.
As a result, Manso’s vehicle overturned into the west borrow ditch, and Bollinger’s vehicle jackknifed in the center of the highway.
According to the release, the weather was dense fog, and the crash occurred in a 65 mph construction zone.
