A Bullard couple died following a two-vehicle accident on State Highway 155 in Frankston, Texas on Sunday afternoon.
According to the initial investigation, a white 2015 Toyota Highlander was heading north on State Highway 155 in the right lane when a white 2020 Kia Sorento was also heading north behind the Toyota at a high rate of speed.
After the Kia driver failed to control the car’s speed, the rear ended the Toyota causing it to veer across the south bound lanes and into a ditch hitting several trees head on. The Kia also veered off the road striking a culvert and a sign.
The driver and passenger of the Toyota, 84-year-old, James Wimberly and 84-year-old, Bonnie Wimberly, both of Bullard were declared dead at the scene.
The driver of the Kia, 57-year-old, Dianna Johnston, of Elkhart, was taken to hospital with serious injuries.
It is yet to be seen whether any charges will be levied against anyone.
