December 9, 2015 - Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) reports a car was run off the roadway by a pickup truck on State Highway 7 West Tuesday, December 8, 2015 resulting in the injury of one man.
Emergency personnel were dispatched to the scene of the crash at 3:50pm just before the intersection of FM 2913 where the vehicle was sitting in a pasture by the roadway.
According to Texas DPS Trooper Anthony LaCount, a white Toyota Matrix S driven by Farhan Hussein Hassan, 24, of Nacogdoches was traveling east in the outside lane when Hassan states a 4-door black pickup truck passed on the left side, in the left lane. As the truck passed on the left, it ran the Toyota off the roadway.
The Toyota traveled to the right off the roadway and through the barrow ditch before colliding with, and traveling through, a fence. As the vehicle traveled through the fence, a fence post went through the passenger side of the windshield and struck Matan Hussein Hassan, 47, before the vehicle came to a stop.
Hassan was transported by ACE EMS to Nacogdoches Medical Center for treatment of a suspected fractured ankle. Other passengers in the back of the vehicle Asli Abdi, 34, and Halimo Abdikadir, 38, were not reported at the scene to have received injuries from the crash.
No further information on the truck whose driver failed to stop and render was available at the time of the crash. The crash remains under investigation.
