Crash takes man's life
A Snyder man was killed as a result of a rollover crash Sunday in Scurry County, according to a Texas Department of Public Safety media release.
Roy Edward Bolen Jr., 54, died because of a one-vehicle crash that happened about 7:50 p.m. Sunday near Snyder, DPS officials said in a media release Monday.
The preliminary investigation revealed Bolen was driving a white 2001 Ford F-250 west on U.S. Highway 180 when he lost control of the pickup 5 miles west of Snyder, DPS officials said.
The rainy and wet conditions made the speed he was driving at unsafe, causing him to lose control, officials said.
The pickup truck veered into the south ditch, skidded to the side and turned over, officials said. Bolen was wearing a seatbelt.
