DeAndre Cooper Sustains Injuries in Amarillo Fatal Crash
Amarillo, TX (May 2, 2023) – On Sunday, 22-year-old William Gray of Hereford died while 54-year-old Deandre Cooper of Fort Worth was injured in a US 287 fiery crash.
It was about 5:25 a.m. when the 2-vehicle collision happened approximately three miles southeast of Amarillo.
The Texas Department of Public Safety said a northwest 2007 Kia Spectra driven by Gray was traveling in the southeast lane of the freeway. Gray struck head-on a southeast Freightliner truck tractor towing a semi-trailer.
Afterward, Gray’s vehicle drove into the center median and rolled over, and overturned while the Freightliner truck traveled across the center median, rolled over onto its side, and started a fire.
Gray died at the crash scene. Officers said he was not wearing a seatbelt during the accident.
Moreover, the Freightliner truck tractor driver, 54-year-old Deandre Cooper of Fort Worth, was taken to Amarillo Northwest Texas Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
