Georgetown, TX (June 26, 2025) — A malfunction involving a septic truck on the elevated southbound flyover of State Highway 130 led to a crash and fuel spill early Tuesday morning, disrupting traffic and prompting a significant emergency response.
According to reports, the crash occurred on June 25 when the septic truck lost control and slammed into a concrete barrier. A semitruck following close behind was forced to brake suddenly to avoid a collision, which caused it to jack-knife on the flyover.
Georgetown Fire Department units arrived on scene and shared images showing extensive vehicle damage, scattered debris, and a section of the barrier broken apart. One individual was transported to a local hospital with minor injuries.
Fire crews cleared the scene by 11:15 a.m., but the flyover remained closed for an environmental cleanup operation. TxDOT confirmed that a diesel spill occurred and was later managed by contractors on site.
