A 69-year old man is dead after a four-vehicle wreck, including two semi-trucks, in Fannin County on Tuesday.
According to a preliminary report, Charles Porter Wallace (deceased) of Bonham, Texas, who was driving a semi-truck, was traveling southbound on SH 78 near FM-1753 around 3:50 p.m.
A woman in a passenger vehicle was stopped on the northbound lane, waiting to make a left-hand turn and a passenger van with two occupants was behind the vehicle waiting to turn.
Another semi-truck towing a dump trailer, traveling northbound, failed to control its speed and rear-ended the passenger van, veering it onto the southbound lane, striking Wallace.
The investigation is ongoing, and no additional information is available at this time.
