My Neighbor Danny Died This Morning

So sad- you could not ask for a better neighbor. He was funny, helpful and generous to a fault. Good guy, I thoroughly enjoyed visiting with him. I've never personally seen anyone who worked as hard as he did spend so much time with his family. I don't know how many times I've seen him go straight to the pool or play ball with his son right after working all day.

Traffic was slowed for hours on North Main Street when a man died in a crash near the railroad tracks at the intersection of North Main and Front streets. Weatherford Police Officer and Accident Investigator Eric Warren said the man was traveling near the railroad tracks in a white Ford pickup and crashed into a telephone pole on the west side of the roadway. He was pronounced dead on scene by a Tarrant County Medical Examiner. Police said the man appeared to be in his 40s. His name is being withheld until he is positively identified and his family has been notified. A train added to a traffic halt, which was diverted for hours. A Weatherford Electric crew repaired transformer connector wires which were downed and damaged due to the crash. Numerous emergency personnel from the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office, Weatherford Police, Weatherford Fire, LifeCare and a wrecker service remained on scene until after 8 a.m. investigating the accident, sorting out reports and clearing debris. Warren said it is unknown if the crash was due to a medical problem, but he added alcohol and drugs were not suspected as a contributing factor in the wreck.
