A suspect is in custody after a commercial vehicle crashed into a Texas Department of Public Safety office in a rural town west of Houston on Friday, seriously injuring several people, according to the agency.

Texas DPS officials said in a social media post on X that the crash happened at the agency’s office in Brenham, Texas, located about 75 miles (120 kilometers) west of Houston. Authorities said there were reports of several serious injuries, but did not specify how many people were affected or the extent of the injuries. They also asked people to avoid the area to clear the way for medical personnel to respond.

The Texas Rangers are investigating the incident and there are no further threats, DPS officials said Friday.

Several media outlets showed images of a large red trailer transporting material on a platform in the building’s parking lot. The front of the 18-wheeler was damaged and covered with debris from the office’s front doors. Debris was also scattered in front, near a hole in the entrance.

DPS officials did not immediately respond to requests for additional information.
