HARRIS COUNTY (CBSDFW.COM) - A crash along an interstate in Texas left one person dead and a load of beer cans strewn across the roadway.
The crash happened when an 18-wheeler traveling on Interstate-45 in Houston veered off the highway, crashed through a guardrail, traveled through a grassy area and slammed into a tree.
The trailer of the semi was sheared open, spilling an entire load of empty Bud Light beer cans onto the road.
