Officials say a Ford passenger car headed southbound drove onto the wrong side of the roadway, and a Cub Cadet Truck Tractor headed northbound tried to avoid the vehicle by swerving to the left.

"The Ford crashed into the Cub Cadet while attempting to return to its original lane of travel," said officials.

The driver of the vehicle, David Jones, 33, of Bartlett, was pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver and passenger of the other vehicle were transported to Baylor Scott and White for non-life threatening injuries, according to Texas DPS.

Next of kin have been notified. Officials say the investigation is still ongoing.
