Texas DPS said the driver of a Ford Taurus swerved into oncoming traffic to avoid a vehicle that was turning in front of him.

MILAM COUNTY, Texas — Several people, including a 7-year-old girl, were injured Sunday morning in a head-on crash in Milam County, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.
