Texas Autobahn Experiences 4 Crashes During First Night Of Operation

High speeds and wild hogs on the newly opened stretch of State Highway 130 made for a dangerous combination the very first night the road was open.

Four crashes between vehicles and hogs were reported to authorities. Three were in the Lockhart city limits and a fourth was in Caldwell County.

A vehicle was totaled in one of the crashes. No serious injuries were reported, but authorities worry this problem will continue to get worse as traffic increases on the new highway connecting Georgetown and Seguin. The speed limit on the toll road is 85 mph.

Doesn't surprise me that Texans would be ass backwards enough to build that road right through wild hog country. They've been talking about it on the news down here all weekend.

Don't know why you were deboosted. Touche to that. I thought this road with this speed limit was built on an open dry road or something.
