McGregor man dies in fatal two-vehicle crash on FM 580
A McGregor man died in a two-vehicle wreck on FM 580 in Coryell County around 12:39 p.m. Saturday, DPS said.
A McGregor man died after a two-vehicle crash on FM 580 in Coryell County, where Texas Department of Public Safety troopers said the wreck happened at about 12:39 p.m. Saturday. The victim was identified as Lopez.
DPS said a 2018 Ford pickup was traveling eastbound on FM 580 while towing a hay trailer. The Ford was driven by a 68-year-old man from Belton. A 2017 Chevrolet pickup was traveling westbound, and Lopez was driving that vehicle.
The setup left little room for error on a road where opposite-direction traffic and heavy loads can meet in a split second. The crash involved two pickups moving toward each other, one of them pulling a hay trailer, and it ended with Lopez dead at the scene.
Texas Department of Public Safety troopers are handling the investigation. Troopers have not released other details about what led to the collision, and the known facts remain focused on the route, the time, the vehicles and the fatal outcome for Lopez.
