MONTGOMERY COUNTY, TEXAS
A Magnolia woman was killed in a head-on collision with an
18-wheeler on FM 2978 near Tamina Road.
Jenna Christine Beasley, 24, was northbound on FM 2978 about
10:20 p.m. Sunday when her Nissan Acura sedan crossed the center line,
Department of Public Safety troopers told the Montgomery County Police Reporter.
The Nissan crossed into the path of a southbound tanker
truck carrying crude oil, The Police Reporter said. Due to the guard rails on both
sides of the road, the truck driver, a 53-year-old Pasadena man, could not
avoid hitting Beasley's car, according to the publication.
Beasley, who was pinned in her car, was pronounced dead at
the scene and was taken to the Montgomery County Forensic Center for an
autopsy, the Police Reporter said. The truck driver was not injured.
The truck did not lose its load, but about 100 gallons of
diesel fuel spilled from ruptured fuel tanks, requiring the presence of a haz
mat team, the paper said.
