7 a.m.
ALL US 59 southbound main lanes between SH 242 and Roman Forest Blvd. remain CLOSED due to a fatal collision that occurred just after 3 a.m., when a car was northbound on southbound side of the freeway and collided head-on with a southbound 18-wheeler.
The closure is expected to last at least another hour per officials on scene.
We will update when the freeway is cleared and the southbound lanes have reopened, and the full story will be posted later.
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.
Scott Engle and Jamie Nash are Montgomery County residents and veteran law enforcement / breaking news reporters, who met covering a law enforcement story and have covered multiple counties, with Scott as a television videographer for multiple local stations and national networks, and Jamie as newspaper / magazine / online reporter.
