On Monday, investigators with the Weatherford Police Department’s advanced accident team continued looking into the details of a fatal, weekend collision which claimed the life of Weatherford resident Marion Linville.
Shortly before 7:30 p.m. Sunday, a Ford truck driven by Linville, 51, was westbound near the intersection of 4th Street and Jacksboro-Graham Road. According to police, Linville crossed into the eastbound lane of traffic and collided head-on with a Toyota mini-van carrying two female passengers.
Linville was pronounced dead at Weatherford Regional Medical Center at 8:25 p.m.
Sandra Whittlesey, 59, of Arlington, was transported by PHI Air Ambulance to Harris Hospital in Fort Worth in serious condition with severe injuries, according to police.
The other occupant of the mini-van, identified as Phyllis Whittlesey, 22, of Arlington, was treated at the scene and transported to Harris Hospital by ambulance.
Police said a third vehicle traveling in the same area was clipped by the truck after the initial impact with the van, however, the vehicle sustained only minor damage and the driver escaped uninjured.
Based on a preliminary investigation, authorities have no reason to believe any criminal offense is associated with the collision, according to police spokesperson Wendy Field.
On Monday, the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Web site described the manner of Linville’s death as accidental caused by blunt force trauma.
