Motor vehicle accident sends two to hospital

A two-car motor vehicle accident on W. M. Watson Boulevard on Wednesday, May 11, sent both drivers to the hospital with possible injuries.

At approximately 12:18 p.m., Daingerfield Police was dispatched to Watson Boulevard, on front of Dollar General, for a motor vehicle accident. A silver, 2005 Mercury, driven by 83 year-old Sybil Walton, of Daingerfield, was traveling west on Watson, behind a 2008 Dodge Nitro driven by 58 year-old Sharon Washington, also of Daingerfield.

Washington slowed down to turn into the Dollar General parking lot, and was struck by Walton’s vehicle, who had failed to control her speed. Champion Emergency Medical Services transported both women, who were the only occupants of their respective vehicles, to Titus County Regional Medical Center for treatment of possible injuries.

Daingerfield Police Sergeant Corey Parr investigated the accident.
