Happened last night in the Austin area and the best thing is there was apparently only 1 person (yet to be confirmed)in this vehicle. Hit head-on with an 18 wheeler.Looks like someone put the front of that SUV in a Vitamix.A tanker truck, too. Could have been quite the conflagration depending on what he was carrying.The news I saw was not very clear, was it on 290 West in Oak Hill Area (near the Y) or west bound 290 near the Manor area?Oak Hill area around 1 am. Doubt we'll hear whether there was alcohol involved unless it was the semi-driver DUI.
