Truck crash in the Conroe area

The top rail of the fence went through the windshield and out the back window - just next to the driver's head.

About 30 feet of fence went through the truck before the vehicle came to a stop.

Small traces of blood were found in the vehicle, but the driver apparently was in good enough shape to flee the scene. Deputies set up a search area but so far they have not been located.

Deputies said the same pickup was involved in an arrest just a couple weeks ago. The driver, a man, was arrested for not having a license and no insurance. It's not known if the same man was driving at the time of Thursday morning's crash.
