In a shocking event in Brenham, Texas, an 18-wheeler truck intentionally crashed into a Department of Public Safety (DPS) office, leaving multiple people injured. The incident, which took place on Friday, was quickly deemed intentional by local authorities. Montgomery County Judge Mark Keough disclosed that the crash was a retaliatory act by a suspect who had been denied a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) just a day earlier.

Judge Keough described the act as one intended to cause harm and extended his prayers to everyone affected, including DPS staff, troopers, and civilians. The scene was chaotic, with emergency services swiftly responding to manage the situation and assess the extent of the injuries and structural damage.
