Miguel Gonzalez Injured in Harrison County Two-Vehicle Crash on US 59

Harrison County, Texas (September 16, 2021) – One person was killed, and another was injured Tuesday afternoon in a two-vehicle crash in Harrison County, according to the Texas DPS.

The fatal crash happened around 12:15 p.m., September 14, on US 59, about one mile north of Marshall.

DPS said a 2012 Dodge Ram was attempting to cross the northbound lanes of the highway from a private drive when it failed to yield the right of way and was struck by a northbound 2011 Mitsubishi Lancer.

The Dodge driver, Christopher Rutherford, 25, was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Mitsubishi driver, Miguel Beltran Gonzalez, 35, of Marshall, was taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

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.
