San Angelo, Texas (August 13, 2021) – According to the authorities, the man who was seriously injured Tuesday afternoon in a rear-end collision in San Angelo has died.

Jonathan Fortenberry, 23, was pronounced dead at 6:30 a.m., on August 12.

The crash happened on August 10, in the eastbound lanes of W Houston Harte Expressway Eastbound.

Police said TXDOT was doing maintenance on some signs, so traffic was moving slowly. Fortenberry was driving a silver Subaru SUV when he rear-ended a semi-truck trailer.

Fortenberry was taken to the hospital with incapacitating injuries, where he later died. He was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash.

A GoFundMe page has been created to help the family pay for funeral expenses.

Officers said alcohol was not a factor in the crash.

The police are conducting the investigation.

Common Causes of Automobile Accidents
