It seems that Montgomery County, Texas has a more dangerous stretch of road with car accidents claiming five lives in the past eighteen months. The dangerous stretch of road is a curve on FM 1485 near Firetower Road. The latest fatal car accident occurred this Saturday at 5:30 p.m. when a Dodge Flatbed truck driven by Octavio Palacios crossed the center line at this curve and struck a Ford Explorer driven by Edy Pereira, who died at the scene of the accident. The passenger in the Ford Explorer, Maria Castilleja, and Mr. Palacios are in critical condition.
