FAIFIELD, Texas (KWTX) - Troopers investigated a fatal crash after a semi- truck crashes into a vehicle which lost control on slick road on IH-45 near Fairfield.

DPS officials ask that you use caution driving at high speeds on ice and snow. Adding, if you’re fishtailing or sliding at all, it may mean you are going too fast for the conditions.
