VICTORIA, Texas – Multiple vehicles are involved in a wreck on US Highway 77 north of Victoria near Tate Road.

A vehicle with a man, woman and child was stalled out on the highway going southbound. The stalled vehicle had no lights, and the visibility was less than 700 feet (1/8 mile) Friday morning, due to heavy fog.
