Poolville resident Daniel Yates’ condition was still listed as critical Tuesday morning following a head-on collision which claimed the life of his passenger five days earlier.
Shannon Gustafson, 40, of Weatherford, was killed Thursday when a 1996 Toyota Corolla driven by Yates, 44, collided with another vehicle near Peaster, an accident report stated.
At approximately, 9:30 p.m., Yates and Gustafson were reportedly traveling north on FM 920 when they crossed the center line striking an Infinity driven by Anna Gonzalez, 33, of Fort Worth, head-on.
Yates was transported to Harris Methodist Fort Worth Hospital with serious injuries, according to the report. Authorities described Gonzalez’ condition as stable following the impact.
The report stated Gonzalez was the only person involved in the accident who was wearing a safety belt.
The original article, published April 14, incorrectly reported which vehicle crossed the center line. The Democrat regrets the error.
