Law enforcement agencies removed a truck hauling a load of automobiles from the roadway in Gunter, Texas, after determining that the vehicle was unsafe.

On June 23, 2026, officers with the Gunter Police Department (GPD) located a commercial vehicle “that had partially lost its load, creating a significant hazard and danger to the public.”
