In the quiet town of Bryan, Texas, a night turned tragic as two serious accidents occurred, resulting in heart-wrenching consequences for families and friends. On Saturday evening, the peaceful atmosphere was shattered by a series of events that nobody saw coming.
First Crash: A Stop Sign Ignored
The first accident took place just before 7 p.m. at the intersection of FM 974 and FM 2038. A Dodge Ram 1500 was seen moving west along FM 974 when it *ignored a stop sign* at the intersection.
