The Burleson County Sheriff’s Office (BCSO) says that a truck driver’s quick thinking and skill likely prevented injuries at a “very dangerous intersection” in the Caldwell, Texas, area.

On July 16, 2025, Sheriff Bill Rios took to social media to praise a truck driver for taking evasive action when another vehicle pulled out in front of him at State Highway 36 and FM 60.

“…this could have been a horrible accident if not for the quick thinking of the 18 wheeler driver, who took evasive action to avoid striking other vehicles. The truck was traveling northbound on State Hwy 36 when a vehicle traveling westbound pulled in front of him off of FM 60. The truck driver’s skill likely saved others from serious injuries,” Rios said.

Rios also noted that he’s working with railroader BNSF to improve safety at the intersection where the incident occurred.

“I rolled up on this incident as I was headed to the Somerville rail yard to speak with BNSF Railroad about the lights at this very intersection. I did speak with a representative of BNSF Railroad and he assured me that he would get me in contact with someone that could get me answers about why the lights are not fully functional yet. We understand that this is a very dangerous intersection and will stay on top of this issue until we have fully functional lights at the intersection. In the meantime, please exercise caution as you transverse this intersection,” he said.
