DWI Crash on Highway 59 Leads to First Responder Vehicles Being Struck by Another Drunk Driver

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, TX -- Early this morning on November 2, 2025, at approximately 2:30 a.m., an MCHD medic unit observed a Chevy pickup strike a barrier on US Highway 59. Fire units, EMS, and a tow truck unit responded to the scene immediately. While awaiting law enforcement to arrive, a passing driver struck the fire truck and then the tow truck, both of which had their emergency lights on and activated.

The Montgomery County Sheriff's Office and Texas Department of Public Safety responded to the scene. The Montgomery County Sheriff's Office is investigating the initial crash. The secondary crash, involving the emergency vehicles, is being investigated by Texas DPS. The Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office is consulting with both agencies.

There were no injuries to firefighters on scene. The tow truck driver was injured in the crash and was transported to a local hospital, where he is expected to recover from his injuries.

Initial investigations indicate that both drivers, of the first and second crash, were intoxicated. Pending the results of a conclusive blood alcohol content, charges for DWI and DWI Intoxicated Assault may be filed at a later time.

No further information is currently available for release. All investigative questions related to the second crash, involving the first responder vehicles, should be directed to the Texas Department of Public Safety.
