AUSTIN, Texas – A man is dead after a crash between an SUV and a tractor-trailer around 1 a.m. on Friday in western Travis County.

  • Man killed in crash
  • SUV completely crush
  • Lanes of Highway 290 shut down

Only one lane was open in each direction of Highway 290 at Shallow Ford Drive after a deadly crash. A Toyota 4 Runner was completely crushed in a crash with a tractor-trailer.

Crews spent several hours cleaning up the scene of the crash causing traffic to back up in the area. Highway 290 has since reopened.

It is unclear if the man who died was in the 4 Runner or tractor-trailer. The cause of the crash is still under investigation.
