A single-vehicle crash early Sunday morning resulted in a Toyota Camry plowing through a local business after the driver reportedly fell asleep at the wheel.
According to the Texas Department of Public Safety, a 20-year-old Austin female was traveling southbound on U.S. Highway 183 when she apparently dozed off just before reaching the U.S. 281 intersection.
“The vehicle left the roadway, vaulted over a raised driveway and collided with the RLH Paint building before traveling through the structure and coming to rest at the opposite end of the building,” DPS officials said.
The driver was transported to AdventHealth Rollins Brook hospital with minor injuries.
The Texas DPS continues to investigate the cause of the incident.
Authorities reminded drivers to pull over safely and rest if they feel drowsy.
This vehicle came to rest inside the RLH Paint building early Sunday morning after its driver reportedly fell asleep while entering town on U.S. Highway 183 North.
