CBS NEWS TEXAS: 2 dead after crash along U.S. 281 in Erath County

Two people were killed and another was seriously injured following a head-on crash southwest of Fort Worth on Saturday, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety. 

The crash happened along U.S. 281 in Erath County, about five miles north of Morgan Mill. 

Troopers said 63-year-old Karen Huey was riding in a small SUV north on U.S. 281 when it failed to drive in a single lane, swerved and hit a sedan going in the opposite direction. 

Multiple agencies responded to the accident, which also caused a grass fire and left the highway closed for several hours, according to the Morgan Mill Volunteer Fire Department. 

Troopers said the woman in the SUV died at the scene of the crash. The driver of the sedan, Jaelen Green, 21, also did not survive the head-on collision.
