TERRELL, Texas — A Kaufman County man was killed in a two-vehicle crash in Terrell early Friday morning, according to police.
Just before 6 a.m., on Friday, October 13, 2017, the Terrell Police Department and Terrell Fire Department resounded to the 1700 block of South State Highway 34, according to Terrell Police Department Interim Chief Ken McKeown.
“Officers arrived and discovered that a red 1999 Lexus pulled out of a business in the 1700 Blk. of South Highway 34 into the path of a 2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer,” stated McKeown.
The driver of the Lexus, identified by police after notification of next of kin as 41-year-old Ricky Henderson of Ola, Texas, was critically injured and transported to Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas, Texas. While being transported, McKeown said Henderson died as a result of his injuries sustained in the crash.
