Rednecks with Paychecks creator and owner Derrick Morse sadly reported on Tuesday one man died Monday from injuries received in a head-on ATV crash during the early morning hours of Saturday.
The accident happened about 2 a.m. on March 16 when an all-terrain vehicle collided head-on with a utility vehicle on a gravel road inside the park. Morse said it was not on any of the courses or tracks, but on a regular road.
The injured man, Steven Fairbairn, was on a four-wheeler with one other person when witnesses reported at the last second he veered into the path of a Razor “side-by-side.” The injured driver was not wearing a helmet.
Morse said the injured man received immediate medical attention and was airlifted to a Fort Worth hospital. Chief Deputy Jack Lawson confirmed Tuesday Fairbairn, 25, was taken off life support Monday and said he also was an organ donor. His address was listed with the medical examiner as Duncan, OK.

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.
