BROWNSBORO, TX (KLTV) - 

One person has been killed in a two-vehicle wreck Thursday in Brownsboro.
The wreck, involving an 18-wheeler, stalled traffic on westbound Highway 31, just past FM 3204.

Deputies say multiple witnesses reported that shortly before 1 p.m. an East Texas woman was traveling westbound in a Honda on Highway 31 when her vehicle veered into the eastbound lane. A man driving an 18-wheeler veered into the westbound lane to avoid her vehicle and when she attempted to get back into the westbound lane, the vehicles collided.
The woman was killed during the impact. Officials have not released her name, pending notification of the family. The driver of the truck was not injured and there were no passengers in either vehicle.

“One of the witnesses was actually following her and said that she had driven perfectly fine all the way from Chandler and didn't know why she suddenly went over,” said Police Chief Thomas Robertson.

The truck was carrying a load of calcium to be used in cattle feed. TXDOT crews were called to clean up oil leaking from the wrecked car. The wreck is still under investigation and no citation was issued. If you saw the wreck happen call the Brownsboro Police department at 903-852-6761.

No citations have been issued in the collision.

The four-lane highway was down to one lane most of the afternoon .Highway was re-opened around 4 pm.
