Grandview man killed in wreck
A wreck Tuesday on Farm-to-Market Road 916 claimed the life of a Grandview man and resulted in the hospitalization of a second driver, a Texas Department of Public Safety spokesman said.
Joe Wilson, 42, was pronounced dead at the scene of the wreck, which occurred about 11:15 a.m. about 4.5 miles west of Grandview.
Wilson, traveling eastbound on FM 916 driving a Chevrolet Blazer, crossed the line and struck a Mack tractor-trailer traveling westbound on FM 916, according to DPS reports.
The driver of the Mack truck, Jimmy Lee Watson, 52, of Whitney was transported to Harris Methodist Hospital in Fort Worth. Watson was treated and released, a hospital spokeswoman said Wednesday.
