Two vehicles collided on Highway 279 around 3:20 p.m. on Saturday. Both vehicles sustained heavy damage.
Three males, two of which were brothers heading to a wedding, were taken to Brownwood Regional Medial Center after a two vehicle wreck on Highway 279 in Brownwood. One person was reported to have been ejected out of the passenger window of a pick-up truck. According to relatives posting on Facebook the brothers are being treated for head injuries, with one currently being cared for in the ICU after being airlifted to Abilene.
Highway 279 was reopened after two hours of being block while emergency crews worked to cleared the scene. That stretch of road is known locally as “Dead Man’s Curve,” named for the sharp turn on a hill that can be treacherous during unfavorable road conditions. A fatal wreck at that location was reported in 2004.
