November 20, 2017 - FM 139 and the intersection of FM 2787 was the scene of a hit-and-run two-vehicle collision Sunday, November 19, 2017.
When emergency responders arrived at the scene, only one of the vehicles involved was at the location.
According to Texas Department of Public Safety State Trooper Keith Jones, at 2:35pm a white 2012 Ford F-150 driven by a 16-year-old driver of Joaquin arrived at the intersection of FM 2787 at FM 139 and came to a complete stop.
The 16-year-old then failed to yield right of way while turning left onto FM 139 when the Ford was struck by a green 2003 Chevrolet Silverado with an unidentified driver, due to the driver of the Chevrolet failing to remain at the scene.
The registered owner of the Chevrolet was a William Clayton of Laneville, Texas.
The 16-year-old driver and his passenger Justin Webster, 21, were not reported to have received injuries resulting from the crash.
A citation was issued to the 16-year-old driver of the Ford for failure to yield right of way. The other driver was still being sought at that time.
Trooper Jones was assisted at the scene by Troopers Richard Hill and Jimmy Faulkner as well as Sheriff's Deputies Adam Renfro and Jesse Travis.
