Two Killed in Weatherford (Parker County) Car Wreck

A teenage girl was killed Tuesday in a two-vehicle wreck south of Weatherford that also killed a Colorado man, officials said.

Sarah Jennifer-Lynn Brinkmann, 17, of Weatherford, was pronounced dead at the scene of the wreck, which was reported shortly after 10 a.m. Tuesday on Farm Road 51, according to a report from the Texas Department of Public Safety highway patrol.

Also pronounced dead at the scene was Keith Defoe, 65, of Pueblo, Colo., the DPS said. His wife, Marcella Defoe, 67, was taken to Texas Health Harris Methodist Fort Worth hospital with neck and back injuries, the DPS said.

The wreck happened about a mile south of Weatherford as Brinkmann traveled north on FM 51 in a 1996 Chevrolet Lumina, according to the DPS report.

The Defoes were southbound in a 2000 Chevrolet Astro Van. But as the two vehicles started to pass each other, the Lumina swerved left into the van, the DPS said.

The collision left the Lumina facing south on the road and the van landed in a ditch on the west side of the road, the DPS said.

Brinkmann and the Defoes were wearing seat belts, the DPS said.

Marcella Defoe was listed in fair condition Wednesday morning at Harris, a hospital spokeswoman said.

No other information was immediately available Wednesday morning.
