An Atlanta, Texas man was killed Sunday night in a fiery wreck just north of the Sulphur River on U.S. Highway 59.
According to a Texas DPS fatal crash report 52-year-old Andrew Clemenson was traveling north in a tanker truck on US-59 when 41-year-old Billy Ray Howard of Texarkana, Ark. pulled out in front of him from Park Road.
