  • On the afternoon of 12/26/19, as we were traveling from DFW to Fredericksburg, TX with our RV, we were hit by a semi towing a cattle trailer. We were driving WSW on US-67, approaching the intersection with TX-220, where we planned to exit southwest bound. Both highways are one lane in each direction. The semi was behind us, and attempted to pass on our left just before the intersection. There was a double yellow line indicating a no passing zone, beginning before the intersection. You can see the last oncoming vehicle pass us as we approach the intersection. At about 300 feet before the intersection, we began to veer left onto TX-220, not realizing that the semi was passing on our left in the opposing traffic lane of US-67. Just as we began the turn, the semi struck our truck and trailer along the left side. The semi continued past us in the opposing traffic lane, then moved into the travel lane on US-67 and stopped about half a mile down that highway on the right shoulder. We stopped in the median in the "Y" between the two highways. DPS cited the other driver for failing to allow enough room to pass safely. The accident sheared off most of the left side of our truck and did significant damage to our fifth wheel trailer.
