Two injured in early morning accident mid-week
A Nocona man is in stable condition at John Peter Smith Hospital following a two-vehicle accident on State Highway 59 North early Wednesday morning. Department of Public Safety Trooper Dru Kirkland investigated the accident that was reported at 6:24 a.m. Sept. 30. Lindsay Cline, Alvord, was northbound in a silver SUV enroute to her job at Nocona High School, when she collided with a Ford Mustang driven by James Hawthorne, 26, Nocona, who was traveling south. Kirkland said Hawthorne was attempting to pass an 18-wheeler that was making a turn in front of him and struck Cline. Hawthorne was extricated from his car by Bowie firefighters and airlifted from the scene to United Regional in Wichita Falls. He later was flown to JPS in Fort Worth, where on Friday he was in stable condition. Cline was treated and released later that day at Bowie Memorial Hospital. Traffic was closed on the highway while the drivers were treated and removed, and the wreckage cleared. Kirkland said the accident is still under investigation and no citations have been issued.
