Truck crash sends two to hospital
Two people were taken to Spohn Hospital Memorial after a two-vehicle collision Saturday on Highway 35, about two miles north of Aransas Pass.
The accident happened at about 5:30 p.m. when a man in a red Nissan pickup truck, trying to avoid a blue Ford pickup truck making a left turn, swerved into oncoming traffic, said Sgt. Kirby Redlin of the Aransas County Sheriff's office. The Nissan collided with a gold Ford F-150, driven by an Ingleside woman, he said.
The injured man, who was not identified, was taken by Halo-FLIGHT to Spohn Hospital Memorial. The woman, identified as Pamela Brown, was taken to Spohn Memorial by ambulance with possible broken ribs.
Redlin said that the man driving the Nissan apparently didn't see the stopped Ford pickup until it was too late.
The driver applied his brakes but overcorrected and ended up swerving left into oncoming traffic. The gold truck hit the Nissan's passenger side, Redlin said.
