Brenham: 18 Wheeler crashes into DPS office

I will add a link when I get it. Might impact some of you peeps...
Just saw this on FOX Houston.

ETA - apparently a STOLEN truck. Here's one story; not much detail:

MSN

ETA2 - reporting that it was intentional. Driver who was rejected a CDL yesterday. No deaths, but three critical. Texas Rangers now involved.

ETA3 - DPS just did a press conference. Dang it, one of the victims transported to the hospital did pass. A sad day; I pray that none of you here was impacted in any way.

Sure looks like the driver aimed for the entry to the place.

Guess he failed his second test as well...

Too bad he wasn't facing an IRS audit instead.....

Almost like there should be a special requirement to drive a semi, like mandate a special license that is tracked via govt agency to put a stop to all of these senseless killings. Our roads are no place for these assault trucks.

Probably doesn't have to worry about getting his CDL now.

They need to register those assault trucks, require regular inspections and mandate locking devices.

His DEI card must have not been accepted this time so a felon just doing what felons do. You know, the mostly peaceful kind of protest.

His family already went on the news claiming he had mental health issues. If that's true then he shouldn't be driving a 18 wheeler period.

Assault trucks should be limited to 10 wheels!

Actually, 1500+ mi back from Fl. tonite. Most semi's were pretty good. Nap time.
