At approximately 10:30 a.m., there was a one vehicle crash on FM 1006 in Orange County. The crash occurred in front of the DuPont Plant just one mile South of Orange.
A 2000 Toyota pickup truck was southbound on FM 1006. The driver lost control of the vehicle and travelled off the roadway. The vehicle rolled over several times before coming to rest off the road.
The driver of the Toyota, Brian Wade Nelson (20) of Bridge City, was pronounced dead at the scene by Judge Price. One of the two passengers, Seth Ervin (20) of Bridge City, was transported by ambulance to Baptist hospital in Orange. His injuries do not appear to be life threatening. The second passenger, Ryan Hensley (21) of Walker, Texas, was flown by medical helicopter to St. Elizabeth hospital with serious injuries.
After initial investigation, Troopers suspect that the left front tire may have blown out which caused Nelson to lose control of the vehicle.
