Jorden Wilson Killed, Christopher Wilson and Ryan Wilson Injured in Rusk County Two-Vehicle Crash on SH 64

Rusk County, Texas (October 26, 2021) – One person was killed, and two others were injured Friday evening in a two-vehicle crash in Rusk County, according to the Texas DPS.

The fatal crash happened around 5:38 p.m., October 22, on State Highway 64, approximately six miles west of Henderson.

DPS said a 2006 Toyota Sienna was traveling westbound when the driver veered to the left to avoid hitting a small animal on the roadway and struck an eastbound 2014 Ford F-150.

The force of the impact pushed the Toyota off the roadway to the south while the Ford skidded and overturned several times. The Ford came to a rest in the middle of the highway.

The Ford driver, Christopher Wilson, 30, of Overton, was taken to UT Health East Texas – Henderson, where he was treated and released. His passenger, Jorden Wilson, 23, of Overton, was taken to UT-Health East Texas – Henderson, where he later died.

The Toyota driver was taken to UT-Health East Texas – Henderson, where he was treated and released.

The crash remains under investigation.

“When a person has suffered a grave personal injury in an accident due to someone else’s negligence, the most overwhelming emotion they feel is a sense of injustice. They often ask how such a life-altering event could have happened to them,” attorney Joel A. Gordon said. “The next question usually is, who can help me?” Mr. Gordon added.

A legal advocate can represent an injury victim or the family of a deceased victim. The attorney will file a claim on behalf of the victim and will have the responsibility of citing existing codes, laws, or statutes which were violated.
