Jimmy Hayes Killed in Tyler Multi-Vehicle Crash on Loop 323 at Pointe N. Drive

Tyler, Texas (May 11, 2023) – A man was killed Wednesday night in a multi-vehicle crash in Tyler, according to the police.

The fatal crash happened on May 10, on Loop 323 at Pointe N. Drive.

Police said three vehicles were stopped in the eastbound turn lane of the Loop, waiting to turn northbound onto Pointe N. Drive.

Hayes was driving a Ford F-150 eastbound when he veered left from the straight lane of traffic into the turn lane and hit the rear vehicle stopped in the turn lane. This caused it to be pushed forward into the vehicle in front of it and so on to the next two vehicles.

Hayes was killed in the crash. 

Another person was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The crash remains under investigation.
