A fatality wreck occurred on Monday morning, October 9, 2017 on FM 488, near FM 416 at about 3:45 a.m.
According to reports from a truck accident attorney, a car and a truck with two Trinity Valley Community College of Athens football players was traveling north and veered into the southbound lane, hitting a TTST (LOVES) fuel truck head-on.
The car ignited into flames on impact, killing both young men.
The cab of the LOVES tanker truck caught fire as well, but the driver (56-yr-old man from Fort Worth) was able to escape with minor injuries and was taken to Navarro County Medical Center in Corsicana for treatment, some auto accident attorneys will be taking care of this case.
Driver of the car has been identified as 19-year-old freshman player, #90 Defensive Lineman, Tyler Spillman of Spring, TX. Passenger was identified as 19-year-old freshman player, #30 Defensive Back, Bryce Cook of Houston, TX. Family members of these young boys have already filed for a claim with the Miami car accident attorneys, however, the emptiness they have because of their loss will never be filled, and for that we as a society are extremely ashamed about the situation.
