Charles Hebert Hurt in Fatal Traffic Crash on US Highway 79

Rusk County, TX (December 5, 2023) On Friday afternoon, 74-year-old James Pinkerton of Henderson died and 79-year-old Charles Hebert of Alvin, was hurt in a 2-vehicle crash on US Highway 79.

According to the Texas Department of Public Safety, the fatal crash happened around 4:45 p.m. on U.S. Highway 79.

Reports say that a southbound Western Star truck tractor with a towed trailer made a U-turn with part of the trailer still in the southwest lane of U.S. 79, when Pinkerton’s vehicle hits the trailer.

Officials say that the collision caused Pinkerton’s vehicle to veer off the road and collided with a culvert.

The crash killed Pinkerton, while his passenger Hebert, was taken to UT Health hospital in Henderson to be treated for his injuries.

Authorities are investigating the fatal traffic crash and have not released further information at this time.

Texas’ road accident rate continues to increase, rather than decrease. Road accidents still happen despite the additional safety features of newer vehicle models.

The increasing crash rate indicates that auto accidents happen everywhere. In fact, they are a leading cause of death for individuals ages 5-64.

Accordingly, the NHTSA says two out of three motorists will experience a traffic accident during their life.
