According to Sgt. Shana Clark with the DPS, the preliminary crash investigation indicates that at approximately 4:30 p.m., a 1995 Chevrolet Monte Carlo was traveling west. It is reported that the driver failed to drive in a single lane and left the road to the right, overcorrected this maneuver back to the left and then to the right again, causing him to lose control.
