Five hospitalized after collision on FM 3210

Posted

 A major head-on collision that involved a total of three vehicles Saturday afternoon on FM 3210 in Hood County sent five people to area hospitals for treatment of their injuries.

DPS Sgt. Ricky Hunter said via email that troopers responded at about 3:20 p.m. to the location.

The preliminary investigation showed that a 2009 Ford Explorer driven by Megan Bednarz, 18, of Granbury, traveling south on FM 3210 “crossed into the northbound lane. The Explorer struck the left side of a Ford Mustang and then struck a Ford pickup that was behind the Mustang head-on.”

Hunter stated that four occupants of the Ford pickup, all from Granbury, sustained “serious injuries and were transported to Fort Worth area hospitals,” Hunter stated. “Those occupants were the driver, Paul Holiday, 68, his wife Rhonda, 61, and their sons Kyle and Kevin, both 36 years old.” 

Bednarz was taken to a local hospital for undisclosed injuries, Hunter noted. The 52-year-old driver of the Mustang, and a 48-year-old passenger, were not injured, Hunter stated.

The investigation was ongoing as of press time, and no other information was available.
