fatality

A spectator at the Texas Motorplex race track was struck and killed crossing US Highway 287 while departing on foot at approximately 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 17.

Locating the deceased body of 38-year old Emily Wade in Chambers Creek, a week after she was believed to have accidentally driven during heavy rains in January of 2019, gave her family and friends a large measure of closure.

News broke after lunch this past Monday of a tragic accident involving two trucks on U.S. Highway 287 in Waxahachie. The news broke hearts in two rival towns when one of the drivers, a local baseball senior, was taken off of life-support and died of his injuries the following day at Methodist Dallas Medical Center.
