One person was killed and 13 injured when a stolen 18-wheeler rammed into Texas Department of Public Safety office

A convicted felon has allegedly rammed a stolen 18-wheeler into a Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) office, killing one person and injuring 13 after he was denied renewal of his commercial driver’s license the previous day.

The incident occurred on Friday morning at the DPS office in Brenham, Texas, after a sheriff’s deputy pursued a truck that had been reported stolen. The driver, identified as 42-year-old Clenard Parker, made a “hard right turn” and crashed into the entrance of the licensing office, DPS spokesman Sergeant Justin Ruiz told reporters.

All 14 people who were in the building at the time were hurt. Six of the victims were taken to area hospitals, including one who later died, and eight were treated at the scene. Ruiz said Parker came to the same office on Thursday and was told that he wasn’t eligible to have his truck driver’s license renewed.
