DeRidder Driver Involved in a Newton County Crash

Burkeville Fire Chief Charles Duckworth says his department responded to a single-vehicle crash shortly before 8:00 Friday morning on Highway 87 just south of Recreational Road 255 in the Mayflower Community. Duckworth said it’s the second accident at that same location in the past three weeks.

Texas Department of Public Safety Sergeant Shana Clark said that 17-year-old Hunter Patton, of Deridder, Louisiana, was driving a 2008 Dodge pickup truck northbound when he failed to drive in a single lane, went off the highway, and then struck a tree which caused his car to roll over.

Chief Duckworth said Patton had only very minor injuries.

Sergeant Clark said Patton received a citation for Failure to Drive in a Single Lane.
