Milam County Sheriff's Office Says an 18-Wheeler Rolled on FM 485; Early Updates Described Lane Closures

By Big Rig Daily Staff

The Milam County Sheriff's Office says an 18-wheeler rolled about 1:10 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 5, 2026, along FM 485 and County Road 245 between Maysfield and U.S. Highway 77, according to KBTX.

What the available update said

KBTX reported that one lane was initially blocked, causing delays, and that the sheriff's office reported at 1:45 p.m. that all lanes were closed. The page title refers to the road later being back open, but the article body available for this draft was still a developing early update and did not detail injuries or a final reopen time. This article therefore states only the early closure facts that appear in the body text reviewed. It does not name a driver or speculate about fault.

A question for readers

Truckers, how do you handle farm-to-market recoveries when both lanes go down with no shoulder room? Start with a pre-trip inspection checklist so the truck is ready before the next tight FM run.
