Father killed, daughter injured in Alvord area crash
A Bowie man was killed and his daughter seriously injured in a one-vehicle accident in Wise County Thursday morning.
Department of Public Safety officials report the wreck occurred at 6:25 a.m. Thursday at U.S. 287 near County Road 2798, about 15 minutes south of Bowie.
Chantel Housour, 57, was driving a 2010 Dodge Ram 3500 pickup southbound driving with her father Bobby Ray Vinyard, 83, Bowie, to a dialysis appointment in Fort Worth.
The preliminary DPS investigation indicated the driver lost control on the wet highway, drove off the roadway and rolled over. This investigation is ongoing by Trooper D. Thompson, Decatur. Both truck occupants were wearing seatbelts.
Vinyard was pronounced dead at the scene by Justice of the Peace Jan Marrow. Housour was transported by air to Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital in Fort Worth with stable injuries.
Housour owns and operates Sister Act Connection in downtown Bowie, and is active in the Bowie Chamber of Commerce and the Bowie Community Development Board.
Her family on Friday reported she had five broken ribs and a mild vertebrae fracture in a vertebrae. She was expecting to be in the hospital for several days

Judges have been named for the two cases involving 97th District Attorney Casey Hall, including the indictment for theft and a petition for removal as DA.
On July 11, Judge David L. Evans, presiding judge for the Eighth Administration Region of Texas, assigned E. Lee Gabriel to handle the indictment case against Hall. The judge then named Bruce McFarling for the removal petition case.
The two-term DA Hall was indicted by the Montague County Grand Jury July 15 on a charge of theft of property $2,500 to $30,000, a state jail felony. The allegations stem from reported misappropriation of state grant funds.
