PAYNE SPRINGS, Texas — One person was arrested after reportedly running other drivers off the road before crashing into a fence in the Payne Springs area.

According to Payne Springs Fire and Rescue, around 5:30 p.m., on Sunday, crews were alerted to a single-vehicle accident in the 8300 block of FM 198.
