One person was killed and 13 others were injured Friday when a stolen semi careened into a Department of Public Safety office in Brenham, Texas.
The truck was being pursued by multiple law enforcement vehicles when it crashed into the office, DPS Sgt. Justin Reese said at a news conference. The driver had been denied a commercial driver's license at the location Thursday, he said.
The suspect was identified as Clenard Parker, 42.
While he was there Thursday, "the drivers license staff advised Parker that he was not eligible to renew his commercial driver’s license," Reese said.
The person who died has not been identified publicly. Five others were hospitalized, officials said. Eight people were treated at the scene and released, they said.
