Two vehicle accident sends three to TRMC

 An early morning accident on March 31 sent three to the hospital with possible injuries.

At approximately 8:33 a.m., Daingerfield Police were dispatched to a wreck at Highway 67 and Fannin Street, in front of Dr. Danny Lilley’s office.

Richard McClure, 74, of Daingerfield, was driving a 2008 GMC Sierra Truck, when he struck a 2007 Hyundai passenger car, driven by 18 year-old Ayanna Townsend, also of Daingerfield. McClure was on Fannin Street pulling out onto Broadnax when a witness driving a truck and trailer was turning onto Fannin from Broadnax.

McClure did not see Townsend’s vehicle traveling north on Broadnax in the inside lane and he failed to yield right of way from the stop sign, pulling in front of Townsend’s vehicle.

Townsend and two small children, who had been passengers in Townsend’s vehicle, were transported to Titus Regional Medical Center for possible injuries.

The crash was investigated by Officer Payden Cannday.
