A tragic three-vehicle crash on U.S. 290 in Manor, Texas, occurred on the night of October 2, resulting in one driver’s death. The incident left all eastbound lanes near Gregg Manor Road temporarily closed as emergency services responded at around 10 p.m.
Police reported that first responders, including Travis County ESD No. 12 and Austin-Travis County EMS, attempted lifesaving measures, including CPR, on one of the drivers at the scene, but unfortunately, the driver did not survive. Other individuals involved in the crash were reported uninjured.
