Another Freightliner failed to control its speed and rear-ended the Patriot, pushing it into the other Freightliner in front of it.

Halterman was pronounced dead at the scene.

No other injuries were reported in the crash.

No other details regarding this crash were available.

The DPS is investigating the crash.
