Ovalle and another man stopped their trucks half a mile north of state Highway 111 at 2:27 a.m. to check the tires.
Mahfouz Abu-Salah, 46, of Plano was also driving south and hit Ovalle while he walked to his truck, Repka said. Abu-Salah also hit the dolly attached to Ovalle’s truck, which caused Abu-Salah’s International Bobtail truck to flip, Repka said.
The incident remains under investigation, Repka said.
