Kenneth Walker ID’d as Man Killed in Nacogdoches Crash on SW Stallings Drive

Nacogdoches, Texas (October 20, 2022) – The man who died following a three-vehicle crash Wednesday morning in Nacogdoches has been identified by Nacogdoches police as Kenneth Walker, 61, of Timpson.

The deadly crash occurred at about 9:00 a.m. Wednesday, October 19 in the 1600 block of SW Stallings Drive.

According to the Nacogdoches Police Department, a 2006 Peterbilt truck tractor was pulling a car hauler on SW Stallings Drive when the driver tried to make a U-turn from an improper lane. A 1995 Peterbilt truck tractor hauling logs, driven by Walker, was also traveling on the same road.

At this time, investigators believe Walker took evasive action to avoid the car hauler in the roadway and in doing so struck the hauler. A Ram pickup was hit by logs and the truck tractor.

Walker died at the scene of the crash.

No additional information about the accident was provided.

An investigation into the accident is ongoing.

Common Causes of Automobile Accidents

There are many different reasons why automobile, 18-wheeler, and motorcycle accidents occur, including driver negligence, driver inattention, 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 under the influence of alcohol or drugs. While the factors listed above are the main causes of most accidents, there may also be other factors involved, which is why it’s important that an investigation be conducted before evidence disappears, especially in cases involving a fatality.  At Joel A.
