Weatherford police are continuing to investigate a fatal car accident that claimed the life of a Weatherford man over the weekend.
The victim was 51-year-old Marion Linville, who was driving westbound near the intersection of Jacksboro-Graham Road and 4th street when the accident occurred on Sunday evening. For unknown reasons, Linville crossed over into the oncoming lane of eastbound traffic, colliding head-on with a van.
Linville was taken to Weatherford Regional Medical Center where he was pronounced dead approximately one hour after the accident.
One of the occupants of the van, 59-year-old Sandra Whittlesey, suffered severe injuries and was taken by air ambulance to a Fort Worth hospital. The van’s second occupant, 22-year-old Phyllis Whittlesey, suffered minor injuries and was treated at the scene.
After the initial impact with the van, Linville’s truck struck a third vehicle. The driver of the third vehicle was not injured, and the car sustained only minor damage.
Based on their preliminary findings, investigators do not believe any criminal offenses played a role in the accident.
