April 26, 2017 - CR 1012 on U.S. Highway 96 South was the scene of a two-vehicle crash involving a Pilgrim's Pride pickup truck and a truck-tractor hauling a trailer on Wednesday, April 26, 2017.
Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) State Troopers were dispatched to the scene of the crash at around 10:45am. According to Texas DPS Trooper Cpl. Jimmy Faulkner, Logan Sandifer, 24, of Timpson was southbound in a white 2004 Ford flatbed pickup truck owned by Pilgrim's Pride.
As Sandifer was traveling behind a 2006 Peterbilt truck-tractor driven by Michael Bush, 60, of Center hauling for Richard Tomlin, the Peterbilt had slowed and was turning right onto CR 1012. Sandifer failed to control speed and the Ford struck the right rear of the trailer the Peterbilt was hauling.
Sandifer was treated on scene by ACE EMS for minor cuts and was later transported from the scene by private vehicle. He was also issued a citation for failure to control speed.
