HOWE, TX – At approximately 1:20 pm, the Howe Police Department received a call about a one-vehicle accident on southbound US Highway 75 just south of Haning Street. Howe Police Sergeant Michael Hill arrived on the scene and determined what appeared to be a hydroplane accident due to a sudden burst of rain and balding tires on the vehicle.
“He hit the wall head-on and slid a couple hundred feet. They were able to get back in the vehicle and get it on the shoulder to allow traffic to go by.” said Sgt. Hill. “They’ve been checked by EMS and no injuries have been reported.”
The officers shut the right lane down for a period of time. Sgt. Hill gave the individuals a ride to Van Alstyne where they have made arrangements for transportation.
