WTX news van

The WTX news van is a fictional vehicle featured in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre multimedia franchise. It pertains to the continuity of the 2003 reboot film series and appeared in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre comic book limited series by WildStorm Productions and DC Comics in 2007.

The WTX news van was operated by the WTX crew, which consisted of reporter Kim Burns, her assistant Kara, and her cameraman Marcus. In June of 1974, they drove the van to the town of Fuller in Travis County, Texas to investigate reports of a murderous family of cannibals. They stopped the van at the Fuller Gas Stop, then later drove to the Blair Meat Company. While Kim and Marcus went inside the slaughterhouse, Kara remained behind in the van. She was abducted by members of the Hewitt family, brought back to their underground sanctuary and killed.

When Thomas "Leatherface" Hewitt began attacking Kim and Marcus at the slaughterhouse, Kim and an F.B.I. agent named Agent Baines managed to escape in the van.
