Wes Woodard Killed in 2-Vehicle Collision on County Road 230 [Meadow, TX]

Meadow, TX (May 2, 2023) – At about 5:30 p.m. on Monday, 18-year-old Wes Woodard, a Meadow ISD senior student, died in a 2-vehicle collision on County Road 230.

DPS said that Woodard was heading to an FFA banquet on the day of the accident. He was eastbound on CR 230 westbound lane and a westbound vehicle veered left to prevent a collision. Woodard also tried to avoid the crash by swerving to his right, but the two vehicles crashed in the roadway.

Woodard lost his life in this accident while the other driver was transported to UMC in Lubbock with moderate injuries.

The FFA banquet was canceled, however, the gym remained open for community members to gather and provide each other support.

Moreover, here is a GoFundMe link to help with Woodard’s funeral expenses.
