A 29-year-old Lockhart woman was killed in a two-vehicle wreck that occurred at about 6 a.m. Friday in Hays County. The woman was driving a passenger vehicle east along Texas 21 about eight miles east of San Marcos when she attempted to pass another vehicle and collided head on with a westbound 18-wheel semi-truck, said Lt. Leroy Opiela of the Hays County Sheriff’s Office. The driver of the truck was not injured, Opiela said. Though the woman was attempting to pass in a legal passing zone, Opiela said, “It was still dark at that time. Apparently she didn’t see the truck coming toward her.” Traffic was diverted Friday morning while the Department of Public Safety investigated.
