3/4/2002 Corsicana man dies in one-vehicle rollover

From Staff Reports

A Corsicana man died from injuries sustained in a one-vehicle rollover early Sunday morning on Interstate 45 south of town.

The 1998 Ford Explorer Jeffrey J. Dewar, 42, was driving flipped about 1:20 a.m. at the 222 milepost, according to Texas Department of Public Safety reports. Dewar was ejected from the vehicle, and a witness said he observed an unknown dark colored pickup strike the body in the roadway, the report said.

Trooper Dane Baker investigated the accident, with help from troopers John Cabano and James Pamplin, and the Corsicana Police Department, Angus Volunteer Fire Department and Corsicana Emergency Corps. Precinct 1 Justice of the Peace Wanda Hartley held the inquest into the death.

The roadway was dry and weather conditions were clear, cold but very windy, according to the report.

The DPS said the vehicle was traveling southbound when it drove off the roadway to the right, started to skid sideways and across both southbound lanes of travel. The Explorer flipped onto the passenger side and into the center median. It continued to flip several times, entering the northbound lane, and came to a rest after Dewar was ejected, according to the report.
