A fatality was reported Wednesday night, May 19, on a frontage road of Interstate 10 three miles west of Sealy. Patrick Ratcliffe, 36 of Sealy, was pronounced deceased on the scene.
Sergeant Stephen Woodard of the Texas Department of Public Safety confirmed Ratcliffe’s 2019 Chevrolet pickup truck was traveling eastbound on the frontage road on the north side I-10, opposite of the direction of traffic.
The only reported injury was Ratcliffe’s.
The main-lane closure on Interstate 10 at the Brazos River originally scheduled for Saturday, May 22, has been postponed again to Thursday, May 27, according to a Tuesday update from the Texas Department of Transportation.
The Saturday closure was postponed to Monday, then because of the rain was pushed again to Thursday with the same start and end times.
