Two people were hospitalized Friday morning after a minivan crashed into a North Texas Buc-ee’s<\/a> and the driver shot himself in the head.<\/p>\n

The Ennis Police Department said the incident happened at around 5 a.m. at the Buc-ee’s off I-45 and Creechville Road in Ennis. A maroon 2003 Dodge Caravan drove into one of the entrances of the Buc-ee’s, pinning a woman against a sales display. The driver then shot himself.<\/p>\n

The driver, described as a man in his 20s from Hubbard, Texas, was taken to a hospital in critical condition.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ennis police did not release his identity, but the description matches that of a person of interest in a triple murder in Henderson County.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Henderson County Sheriff’s Office posted on Facebook<\/a> that was looking for 29-year-old Christopher Reid, who they said may have been driving a 2003 maroon Dodge Caravan. The Facebook post was later updated to say that Reid had been found.<\/p>\n

KYTX<\/a>, the CBS News affiliate in East Texas, reported that Reid was wanted for a triple homicide that happened in Mabank around 2:30 a.m. Friday.<\/p>\n

Police described the victim of the Buc-ee’s crash as a woman in her 30s from Oklahoma who was passing through Ennis. She was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Two people were hospitalized Friday morning after a minivan crashed into a North Texas Buc-ee’s and the driver…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8738,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[8231,8230,8232,27,29,28],"class_list":{"0":"post-8737","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-texas","8":"tag-buc-ees","9":"tag-ellis-county","10":"tag-henderson-county","11":"tag-texas","12":"tag-texas-headlines","13":"tag-texas-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8737","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8737"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8737\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8738"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8737"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8737"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8737"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
