Trinity, Texas – One person was injured Saturday evening in a two-vehicle crash in Trinity, according to the authorities.

The crash happened around 6:47 p.m., December 9, on State Highway 19.

Authorities said a 2011 GMC Terrain was traveling northbound in the inside lane, while a 2011 Lincoln MKX was traveling northbound in the outside lane.
