Crash kills three people, two injured
The Department of Public Safety is investigating a two-vehicle head-on collision on State Highway 59 at Clay & Montague County line, just in Clay County at Frog Hollar Road. The crash took the life of one Bowie woman.
The wreck occurred about 10:30 a.m. Tuesday as two sport utility vehicles collided head-on resulting in three fatalities. Two of the five occupants in the vehicles were airlifted to a Fort Worth hospital and transported by EMS to Central Hospital of Bowie, both with serious injuries. Late Tuesday the DPS reported the identities of those killed: Karen Lynette Scott, 49, Bowie; Clifford J. Brooks, 69, Stafford, TX and Jose J. Garza, 44, Houston. No other details were available.
No additional details are available at this time according to the DPS.
On Friday city officials reported the intersection at Rock and Pillar was closed due to a sinkhole in the street. This area has been experiencing major drainage problems for many years damaging culverts and the street asphalt and concrete, with a portion of the street collapsing earlier in the spring. Drivers should avoid this area.
The Nocona City Council approved a trio of Nocona Economic Development Corporation requests and considered infrastructure work questioned by a city council.
Councilors met on June 10. Two of the NEDC requests had already been presented with the timeclock for comment started. With that time limit over, the requests were finalized.
The Type A and B Boards will spend $19,225 at the Indian Oaks Golf Club for equipment, aerifying and top dressing the greens and batteries for rental carts. It also will expend $20,000 to the Nocona Chisholm Trail Rodeo Arena Committee to build new concrete bleachers, railings, fence and platform.
The third NEDC request is a new one related to a Type B board loan of $200,000 to Amy and Chris Nunneley for a new apartment and office construction project.
