Driver Rolls Vehicle Multiple Times, WAKEFIELD, May 3, 2022 - At approximately 8:20 pm on May 3, 2022, a silver 2008 Infiniti G35 driven by Whitney Vera, 17, of Moscow, was south-bound on US-59. For some reason, Vera left the pavement to the left just north of Goat Hill Road. Her vehicle slid into the center median and, according to witnesses, rolled about six times. Vera's vehicle came to rest upside down in the grass facing south. Allegiance Ambulance Service was dispatched to the scene along with the Corrigan Volunteer Fire Department and Trooper Nick Hatton with the Texas Highway Patrol. Vera was transported by ambulance to a hospital in Lufkin. Traffic was not blocked during investigation and cleanup. It is not yet known why Vera left the pavement. Her vehicle was recovered by Riley Wrecker Service out of Corrigan. This accident remains under investigation by the Texas Highway Patrol.
