A commercial tractor trailer truck on Friday drove off a highway, over the shoulder, over a frontage road, grass, curb and parking lot to smash full force into the front of a Texas Department of Public Safety building in the town of Brenham in what police say was an intentional attack.
Multiple serious injuries are reported, one suspect is under arrest, and the Texas Rangers are on scene and investigating.
The Washington County Sheriff’s Office told KHOU in Houston, “We believe this was a criminal act.”
