Local firefighters responded to a grass fire on State Highway 67 about two miles north of the intersection with U.S. Highway 180 East shortly after noon Monday, Dec. 7.
Traffic on U.S. Highway 180 West was blocked for about an hour and a half Friday afternoon, Nov. 13, following a major wreck at the highway’s intersection with FM 2231. Two Air Evac helicopters landed on the highway and transported crash victims to the hospital.
