At 2:30 a.m. Tuesday, Texas Department of Public Safety Troopers were notified of a multiple vehicle crash on I-30, just west of Spur 74 in Bowie County.

The preliminary investigation indicates that a 2011 Freightliner towing a trailer, driven by Marius Reitmajer, 55, of Niles, Illinois, was westbound on I-30 when it hit a cow that was on the highway. The rig traveled across into the eastbound lane where it was struck by a 2021 Chevrolet Malibu, driven by Kellie Beggs, 43, of DeKalb, according to a preliminary report from DPS.

The trailer of the Freightliner rolled over across the eastbound lane.

The 2005 Freightliner and trailer drove through the rolled-over trailer and caught fire.

A 2020 Volvo towing trailer, driven by Manuel Cruz,was also eastbound and swerved to the left to avoid the crash but struck the detached rear axle of the rolled-over trailer.

Horn died at the scene.
