March 28, 2016 - Huxley was the scene of single-vehicle crash on Wednesday, March 23, 2016 in which a car collided with a stump.
at 2:28pm Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) was informed of a one-vehicle crash on FM 139 in the Huxley area. Upon arrival, Texas DPS Trooper Keith Jones met with the citizen that called in the crash and with Jamie Hagler, Constable Precinct 2.
Trooper Jones observed a white 1999 Dodge Neon 4-door and upon investigation determined the Neon traveled off the roadway in a curve due to unsafe speed and hit a stump, causing major damage.
The driver of the vehicle reported they went to the hospital by private vehicle, and left the scene of crash. Attempts were made by DPS to locate the driver by contacting all surrounding hospitals in Shelby, Nacogdoches and San Augustine counties; however, those attempts were unsuccessful.
It later was learned the driver traveled to Vail and Son wrecker where they turned over the keys to the Neon to Vail and asked him to wrecker the car. The driver was then determined to be Hazel Marie Sullivan, 49, of Shelbyville and a citation was mailed to Sullivan for unsafe speed.
