Bryan Horn Killed in Bowie County Multi-Vehicle Crash on Interstate 30

Bowie County, Texas (June 10, 2021) – One person was killed early Tuesday morning in a multi-vehicle crash in Bowie County, according to the DPS.

The fatal crash happened around 2:30 a.m., June 8, on Interstate 30, just west of Spur 74 near Hooks.

DPS said a 2011 Freightliner towing a trailer, driven by Marius Reitmajer, 55, of Niles, Illinois, was traveling westbound on the interstate when it struck a cow. The Freightliner then traveled into the eastbound lane and was struck by a 2021 Chevy Malibu, driven by Kellie Beggs, 43, of DeKalb. The trailer rolled over the eastbound lane, and a 2005 Freightliner, also towing a trailer, drove through it and caught fire. 

An eastbound 2020 Volvo also towing a trailer, driven by Manuel Cruz, swerved to the left to avoid the crash, but hit the detached rear axle of the rolled-over trailer.

The driver of the 2005 Freightliner, Bryan Horn, 65, of Irving, was pronounced dead at the scene.

The crash remains under investigation.

Common Causes of Automobile Accidents

While there are many causes of car accidents, the most common reasons of driver negligence include driver inattention; cell phone use; texting and driving; speeding; fatigue; failure to yield the right of way from a stop sign or private drive; running a red light; and driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs,” Attorney Joel A. Gordon said. Mr. Gordon believes that an independent investigation is important. An Attorney will help obtain the crash report, secure accident photos, interview witnesses, and create a claim.
