Grandview man dies after Cleburne rollover accident

A Grandview man died of injuries he sustained in a rollover crash near Cleburne that occurred Sunday.  Authorities say that the accident occurred near the intersection of FM 1434 and County Road 1224.  The victim, Michael Rollins, was traveling eastbound on FM 1434 in a pickup truck when it left the right side of the roadway surface.  Rollins apparently over-corrected and the vehicle rolled over.  Rollins was ejected from the vehicle.  He was taken to Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital in Fort Worth, where he later died from his injuries.

Family brings wrongful death lawsuit against oil drilling company for fatal wreck

In September of 2008, 41-year-old Rhonda Kay Henson was killed after a piece of oil field equipment fell off of a passing tractor-trailer, crushing the driver’s side of her car.

Henson’s family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the driver of the tractor-trailer, Daniel Armstrong, 21. The suit also names the company for which Armstrong worked, Pioneer Drilling Company, as a defendant. The suit alleges that both defendants were negligent.

Testimony in the trial began Tuesday in the 413th District Court in Cleburne, Texas.

The 15-ton piece of equipment was secured with only two chains, while state and federal laws require four. Because the equipment was not properly secured, says the family’s lawyer, it slid around until it eventually fell from the truck onto Henson’s Ford Explorer.

Also, according to the plaintiffs’ attorney, Armstrong had a suspended license and was not qualified to drive the tractor-trailer. His records, the attorney says, were forged and fabricated by other employees of the company.

Henson’s husband, Thomas Henson, was riding in the passenger seat at the time of the accident. He was not seriously injured.
