UPDATE โ As of 11:15 p.m., both northbound and southbound lanes of FM 1385 have been reopened to traffic.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - August 19, 2026 8:15 P.M.
On August 19, 2026, at approximately 6:25 p.m., the Aubrey Police Department and Aubrey Fire Department were dispatched to Farm to Market Road 1385, south of Farm to Market Road 428, in reference to a multi-vehicle crash. It was reported that a vehicle involved in the crash was upside down in a small creek with the driver trapped. Upon arrival, emergency personnel extricated the driver and immediately began life-saving measures.
Preliminary investigation determined a vehicle traveling northbound on FM1385 failed to maintain a single lane, crossed over into southbound traffic, and crashed into a southbound vehicle. After crashing into the southbound vehicle, the northbound vehicle struck the guardrail and then crashed head-on into another southbound vehicle. The second southbound vehicle went over the guardrail and became submerged in water.
Due to oil and gas leaking from the second vehicle into the creek, Hazmat crews were called out and are on scene.
This investigation remains active, and no other information will be released at this time.
The Aubrey Police Department would like to extend our sincere appreciation to the assisting agencies that provided personnel and resources, including the Aubrey Fire Department, Pilot Point Police Department, Pilot Point ISD Police Department, Denton County Sheriffโs Office, and Celina Police Department.
