At around 12:30 a.m., local officers received a call reporting a crash at the 2800 block of SH 46 South. According to the report, a 2013 Toyota pickup truck heading south on the highway was seen shifting one lane to another when it drifted onto the northbound lane and collided with a 2006 Chevrolet Malibu. The impact of the crash caused the pickup truck to flip on its side, trapping its driver and his passenger inside the wreckage. They were rushed to Seton Hospital in Austin via ambulance.
The Malibu sustained serious front-end damage. Emergency crews had to extricate its driver including his two-month-old passenger. The infant was rushed to Resolute Hospital as a precaution and further care.
No identifications have been released at this time.
Our deepest sympathies to the victim of this unfortunate event. We strongly believe that the New Braunfels Police Department will do everything to bring those responsible to justice.
