TRINITY COUNTY — Texas Department of Public Safety troopers investigated a crash on Farm-to-Market Road 2262, approximately three miles east of U.S. Highway 287, that occurred Saturday, February 17, 2024.
The preliminary crash investigation indicates that at approximately 6 a.m., a 2009 Ford Focus was traveling south and reportedly struck a tree that had fallen across the road.
The driver, 42-year-old Dwight Ligon of Diboll, was transported to CHI St. Luke’s Hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries. His passenger, 57-year-old Edna Ligon, also was transported to CHI St. Luke’s Hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.
Groveton Fire Chief Glenn Hammond said that drivers need to be cautious at this time of year as the ground is wet and a little wind will bring trees down.
He said that since it was dark, the rescue vehicle came upon the tree and bent the bumper because the tree could not be seen across roadway.
