A two-vehicle collision on Farm to Market Road 3053 leaves three people injured, last Saturday evening.
In the report released by Gregg County local officials, the incident happened at around 6:30 p.m. on FM 3053, five miles west of Kilgore in Gregg County. A vehicle was seen heading west when he collided with another vehicle that was traveling along the northbound lane of the roadway. Police said that the first vehicle ran a red light as it travels along County Road 2729.
The driver of the first vehicle, identified only as an Overton resident, was rushed to a Tyler hospital where he was pronounced deceased the next morning. Meanwhile, the driver and three more occupants in the second vehicle sustained injuries and were immediately taken to an area hospital in Kilgore where they received proper treatment.
All occupants were shown to have been wearing seatbelts.
We would like to express our deepest sympathies to the friends and families of the injured victims. We pray for their full recovery as we hope that the Gregg County Police Department will do everything to bring those responsible to justice.
Injuries caused by vehicle collisions can vary from crash to crash. Some injuries may heal within a span of days while others could paralyze a victim’s body for a month. The most commonly known car accident injuries include neck and chest and head and back injuries. Broken and ligament damages are also quite common.
Sometimes, a car accident can cause serious injuries to multiple parties—and filing a claim can get complicated. To make sure your claim is successful, you need to gather supporting evidence and documents that can back up your claim. It could be a detailed account of the accident you are involved in or documents indicating the extent of injuries you sustained. These may include a video or photograph of the scene, police reports, and medical records, to name a few.
