An accident Thursday night, believed to be cause by brake failure, sent one to the hospital.
A man was driving the pickup north on Hwy. 87 between Bridge City and Orange. As he approached the 87 and Hwy. 105 intersection, he realized his brakes were failing according to West Orange Asst. Police Chief Jessie Romero.
The driver went around the car in front of him to avoid an accident, but when he went through the intersection, he struck the vehicle below that was being driven by a female. She had to be removed using the Jaws of Life and was then transported to the hospital in an unknown condition.
The male driver was treated at the scene. The accident is under investigation.
