ATV-truck crash kills teen, two injured
A crash between a pickup and an all-terrain vehicle took the life of a 16-year-old Rowlett girl on U.S. Highway 82 west of Nocona Saturday afternoon.
The wreck occurred at 12:45 p.m. near Airport Road and U.S. 82, one mile west of Nocona.
Department of Public Safety Sergeant Dan Buesing said the girl was killed when the Polaris ATV she was riding in was struck from behind by a Ford pickup driven by Charles Beakley, Collinsville.
The three young girls riding on the ATV were transported by ambulance to Nocona General Hospital with serious injuries. One was pronounced dead and the other two were airlifted to Cook Children’s Hospital in Fort Worth.
The pickup driver was uninjured.
Buesing said both vehicles were on the highway when the crash occurred. The DPS is investigating and there are no details available on the medical condition of the injured girls as of Tuesday.
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.
