Massive accident on highway 365 leaves one dead, five injured

Ray A. Dodson of Port Acres, Texas, age 69, was on his way to a dialysis treatment when he lost control of his truck and struck an oncoming vehicle head-on. Dodson died at the scene of the accident, and five others were injured.  The accident took place early on the morning of Wednesday, May 27th. Dodson was reportedly running late for his treatment.

The accident occurred when Dodson attempted to pass another car on highway 365 by driving on the shoulder of the road. It was then that he lost control of his Dodge Ram, veering into westbound traffic and crashing into several oncoming vehicles.

The collision caused two other accidents involving three other cars. A total of six people were involved in the crashes. All five of the other individuals were injured in the massive accident and were taken to area hospitals for treatment.

An autopsy on Dodson has been ordered because it is believed that preexisting health conditions, and not the collision itself, may have caused his death.
