For unknown reasons, a pedestrian was lying in the center of the west bound lane of FM 922 Monday evening and was run over by three separate vehicles. The deceased was identified as 19-year-old Devon James McKinnon.
Sergeant Ray Sappington of the Texas Highway Patrol in Cooke County said the incident took place Aug. 10 at about 10 p.m. on FM 922. The location on FM 922 was 2.2 miles East of 372 and the same distance from Mountain Springs.
Cooke County Sheriff Mike Compton said that basically, McKinnon was laying down in the driver’s lane on FM 922.
Compton said that one car ran over McKinnon because it couldn’t miss him. The driver of the car turned around to try to stop ongoing traffic from running over McKinnon again.
A second vehicle and then a third vehicle also ran over McKinnon.
McKinnon was wearing a black shirt, dark pants and was in a very rural area where there were no lights.
Sappington said that anti-seizure medication was found next to McKinnon’s body.
Sappington said McKinnon had a Valley View address but lived in the Mountain Springs area.
Cooke County Justice of the Peace Jason Brinkley has ordered an autopsy.
