CALLAHAN COUNTY, Texas — A Frisco man was killed Sunday morning when he was trying to fix the engine of his semi-truck and was hit by another semi-truck.

The crash happened at around 11:10 a.m. Sunday on Interstate 20, around 7 miles east of Baird, the Texas Department of Public Safety said in a preliminary crash report.

Yan Broytman, 43, of Frisco, was stopped and parked on an improved shoulder of I-20 of westbound traffic lanes trying to repair the engine of the semi-truck he was driving. 

Lewis Edward Clements Jr., 46, of New Market, Virginia, was traveling west on I-20 when DPS said he failed to drive in a single lane, swiped Broytman's truck and hit Broytman, who was outside. 

Broytman was pronounced dead at the scene by Justice of the Peace Andi Holland.
