The Tyler Police Department is still investigating a car accident on Cambridge Drive, early Monday morning.
Just after 1:00 a.m., local police officers responded to a major crash on Monday near the intersection of Jeff Davis Road and Cambridge Drive.

Brasher’s passenger sustained injuries from the impact. He was taken to a hospital and is in stable condition as of this writing. His identification was not released.
Investigators are still determining the factors that contributed to the crash. They submitted evidence to the Department of Public Safety to determine if alcohol played a role in the tragic accident.
No other further details were released.
Our deepest sympathies to the victim of this unfortunate event. We pray for their full recovery as we hope that the Tyler Police Department will do everything to bring those responsible to justice.
