March 15, 2019 - State Highway 7 West just over one mile from the Nacogdoches County line was the scene of a crash Wednesday, March 14, 2019 which involved three motor vehicles and a trailer.
According to Texas Department of Public Safety State Trooper Jonathan Stinson, at approximately 3pm a silver 2004 Mazda driven by Ambria Breunna Garrett, 20, of Center was westbound on State Highway 7 West during inclement weather.
At that time the Mazda hydroplaned and traveled into the eastbound traffic lanes where the rear of the Mazda struck a white 2018 Chevrolet pickup truck driven by Roy David Kline, 61, of Center in the front left quarter panel causing the wheel to detach from the pickup.
The wheel traveled across the highway and into the path of a black 2017 Dodge Ram 3500 hauling a trailer and driven by John William Langley II, 37, and his 14-year old son both of Ratcliff. The Dodge struck the wheel and caused major damage to the front left corner of the truck and the undercarriage.
No injuries were reported resulting from the crash. Garrett was issued a citation for unsafe speed.
The Shelby County Sheriff's Department assisted at the scene with traffic control.
