DPS: One killed in two-vehicle crash on US 385 near Channing
A Dalhart man died Thursday afternoon following a two-vehicle collision on U.S. Highway 385 about 12 miles south of Channing, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety. The crash occurred around 12:55 p.m. April 24. Preliminary investigation indicates a 2010 Chevrolet Silverado, driven by 34-year-old George Acker of Dalhart, exited a rest area and attempted to merge onto US 385. Acker failed to yield the right of way and entered the path of a northbound 2010 Freightliner truck tractor towing a semi-trailer. The semi-trailer struck the driver's side of the pickup, authorities said. Acker, who was wearing a seatbelt, was pronounced dead at the scene due to injuries sustained in the crash. The driver of the Freightliner, a 53-year-old from Vega, was also wearing a seatbelt and was not injured. Weather conditions were reported as clear and cloudy, with dry road conditions at the time of the crash. The Texas Highway Patrol is continuing to investigate.
