Hunt County, Texas (September 25, 2021) – One person was killed Saturday morning in a two-vehicle crash in Hunt County, according to the Texas DPS.

The fatal crash happened around 9:40 a.m., September 18, on FM 751 at Lake Tawakoni, 4.5 miles southeast of Quinlan.

DPS said a Chevy pick-up truck and a GMC pickup truck were traveling northbound on the highway when the Chevy lost a box containing food items, and the driver pulled over onto the shoulder to attempt to retrieve the box.

The GMC then struck the box, side-swiped the Chevy, crossed over the guardrail, and landed in the lake below.

The GMC driver was pronounced dead at the scene. The victim’s identity has not been released.

The Chevy driver was uninjured in the crash.

The crash remains under investigation.

Common Causes of Automobile Accidents

While there are many causes of car accidents, the most common reasons of driver negligence include driver inattention; cell phone use; texting and driving; speeding; fatigue; failure to yield the right of way from a stop sign or private drive; running a red light; and driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs,” Attorney Joel A. Gordon said. Mr. Gordon believes that an independent investigation is important. An Attorney will help obtain the crash report, secure accident photos, interview witnesses, and create a claim.
