The incident happened around 11:33 a.m. that morning on the remote roadway, located in Llano County.
James Richard Von-Krosigk, 64, was initially sitting on an ATV parked at the entryway of his residence as a southbound 1996 Freightliner dump truck approached on Texas 261.
“Unit 1 (the ATV) shot out in front of unit 2 (the dump truck),” the DPS report stated.
The dump truck “swerved to the left crossing the double yellow line, trying to avoid crashing into unit 1 (the ATV),” according to the report.
