A weekend accident in Angelina County involving four vehicles has now claimed a second life. Texas Department of Public Safety Sergeant David Hendry said Tuesday that 33-year-old Alicia Stephenson, of Portage, Wisconsin, died in a Houston hospital on Monday.
A passenger in Stephensonâs vehicle, only described as a 13-year-old girl, died in the crash which occurred at about 4:00 Sunday afternoon on U.S. Highway 59, just south of the Lufkin city limits.
Hendry said it began when a tire blew out on a northbound 2017 Ford F-350 pickup truck, driven by Gabrila Godoy, 30, of Lufkin. Hendry said the truck went across the median and into the southbound lanes where it collided head-on with a 2014 Dodge pickup truck, driven by Alicia Stephenson, 33, of Portage, Wisconsin.
Theyâre in shock and mourning in Sabine County after three members of a volunteer fire department were killed in a crash there on Saturday evening. Two of them were a husband and wife who were the parents of three children.
Daily News & More is reporting that it happened at about 7:00 on Highway 21 in Pendleton Harbor, a community in the northeast portion of the county on the western shore of Toledo Bend Reservoir. The three firefighters were in a passenger vehicle and the accident did not involve a fire department call.
Friends and family have identified two of the deceased as husband and wife Jason and Vanessa Davis, ages 38 and 28, and DPS says the third person who died was Ralph Hill, age 48, of Hemphill.
