Last Saturday at 5:42 pm Ian Manatse, 43 of Conroe was traveling east on SH 94 just west of Apple Springs. He was driving a 2016 Kenworth truck that was pushing a 2023 Kenworth towing an oversized 2022 Faymonville trailer. For unknown reasons, Manatse left the roadway to the right and flipped on its side. Manatse was transported to St Luke’s Memorial where he was pronounced deceased. The driver of the 2023 Kenworth was identified as Cody Herman of Kountze, Texas. DPS is investigating the crash.
MCPR was created in 2008 after Jamie left a newspaper that conflicted with her ethics. Initially, it was blog style website where Jamie wrote stories and posted them with photos. Scott provided video, and as the blog grew in popularity, businesses began to inquire about advertising. The blog soon transitioned to a news website, and then to a print newspaper, which was sold in over 100 stores, and through subscription for several years.
