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
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.
