Anna semi accident kills driver
By Danny Gallagher, dgallagher@acnpapers.com
Anna police responded to a semi accident that took the life of a Dodd City man.
The accident occurred Monday morning on State Highway 121 near the County Road 1220 intersection and involved a tractor-trailer and a Ford Explorer driven by 36-year-old Juan Carlos Ortega who died at the scene, according to a statement released by the Anna Police Department.
Anna police Patrol Sgt. Jeff Caponera said Ortega was driving north on SH 121 when the semi cross the center lane and directly into the path of oncoming traffic for reasons that have yet to be determined.
The collision instantly killed Ortega, Caponera said.
Police responded to the accident and closed the highway in both directions between the intersections of Farm-to-Market Road 455 and FM 2133 for several hours to investigate the accident and remove the remaining wreckage from the highway.
As of Thursday, no criminal charges or traffic citations have been filed against the driver of the semi. Caponera said investigators are awaiting the results of some toxicology tests.
