A Houston man died Thursday in a fatal car crash in Nolan County, according to a Texas Department of Public Safety media release.
Cesar Josevan Espinosa Manso, 25, was pronounced deceased at the scene of the crash, and next of kin was notified Thursday afternoon.
According to the DPS preliminary investigation, the crash occurred around 8:15 a.m. Manso was traveling southeast on State Highway 153 in a 2017 Peterbilt towing a semi-trailer.
