According to the Texas Department of Public Safety State Trooper Dustin Ramos, at 8:10am, a white 1998 GMC pickup truck driven by Alma Tippins, 79, of Nacogdoches towing a bumper pull trailer was eastbound on State Highway 7 West.
As the truck was traveling through a curve in the roadway its load shifted and caused the driver to lose control and travel into the north ditch where it overturned.
Tippins, her passengers Angel Bello, 73, and Salvador Acosta, 59, were transported by ambulance to Nacogdoches Medical Center - Shelby Emergency Department for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.
No citations were issued.
