Craig Carter, candidate in the Texas House District 68 election and Nocona area businessman, Monday announced the passing of his daughter, Lux, age four, and mother-in-law, Rose Morgan, following what police called a “hit-and-run” car accident on Sunday.
Carter’s three-year-old son, Rex, survived the crash and is in critical condition at a Fort Worth hospital.
“We humbly ask for your prayers. My wife and I are devastated, but comforted by the knowledge they are now with our Lord Jesus. I want to express my sincerest gratitude to the paramedics and first responders and the entire medical team at Cook Children’s Medical Center in Fort Worth,” stated Carter in a statement Monday.
The crash occurred about 3:40 p.m. Sunday. Police report the two drivers were driving northbound on Interstate 35W in Northlake when the driver of an Audi A6 moved from the right lane to the left lane and collided with the driver of a Toyota. NBC5 reports the collision pushed the Toyota into the concrete barrier and it rolled several times before coming to a stop according to witnesses.

UPDATE Feb. 3 –

The couple doesn’t have medical insurance for their son, Rex, and is asking for donations through GoFundMe at https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-texas-rex-carter-with-medical-treatment to help offset some of the medical bills the family will incur.

The GoFundMe page states the following: As some may know our little girl Lux who was only 4, and my mom, Rose, 58, were killed in a hit-and-run accident in Fort Worth on Sunday, Jan 31. It was a horrible car crash and miraculously 3 year old little Rex survived. 

As with so many last year, the economic downturn and Covid, we have no health insurance for Rex. All of these costs will be out of pocket. Cooks Children’s hospital is taking great care of of Rex and there are many specialists involved – his care is extensive and ongoing and we have no idea when he is coming home and even then he will be in rehab for a period of time. We are asking you to please  donate what you can and to please pray for us and especially Rex.
