It is with great sadness and pain in our heart we have learned the wreck east of Childress on HWY 287 was a fatal accident.

Texas DPS Trooper Sergio Romero was killed in the line of duty this afternoon in the wreck.

Trooper Romero leaves behind his wife, two young children, and a legacy of service and sacrifice that will never be forgotten.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Trooper Romeros family, friends, and fellow officers during this tragic loss.

Rest in peace, Trooper Romero.

Good evening, Hot and humid conditions will build on Wednesday and peak on Thursday, with widespread triple digit heat indices forecast. Those spending extended time outdoors will be susceptible to heat illness. Take appropriate precautions to avoid heat illness!

A cold front will approach North Texas late Thursday, bringing a renewed chance of showers and storms Thursday night into Friday. A few storms may be strong and produce heavy rainfall. This will increase the threat for flooding, however, confidence in the exact location of the heaviest rain remains low. Confidence is increasing in higher rainfall totals occurring west of I-35.
