LUFKIN, Texas (KTRE) -
An Angelina County grand jury has indicted a Lufkin man accused of driving drunk in a 2009 vehicle accident which killed his father.
According to the DPS report in October 2009, Don Ray Williamson, of Lufkin, was the passenger in a GMC Sierra pick-up, which was northbound two miles north of Highway 103. When the driver, Shiloh Chance Williamson, 21, of Lufkin, veered right onto the shoulder of the road, he overcorrected and left the roadway on the opposite side and struck a tree.
Don Williamson died at the scene.
Shiloh Williamson was arrested on a charge of intoxication manslaughter just hours later.
Since bailing out of jail a few days later, Williamson has been arrested seven more times in Angelina County on eight different charges; five times for public intoxication, once for driving while intoxicated, once for possession of a controlled substance and once for an order to surrender.
Williamson's DWI arrest came just four days ago. He was released on a $1,500 bail.

Azle Teen Killed in Wreck

Published : Thursday, 22 Sep 2011, 6:17 PM CDT

AZLE, Texas - A high school student was killed in an accident just north of Highway 199 on Boyd Road in Azle Thursday afternoon.

Witnesses said a 17-year-old Azle High School senior was a passenger in a car with his older brother who worked at the Chicken Espress.

The pair were turning into the restaurant when they were hit by an oncoming truck. The teen was trapped inside the car and died at the scene, witnesses said.

The brother and the driver of the truck were reportedly taken to nearby hospitals.

It has been an emotional week for everyone in the Azle Independent School District. On Tuesday night a seventh grade football player was revived during a game after his heart stopped.

District officials said counselors would be on campus Friday morning to provide students with support.
