Teenager flown to Fort Worth after five-vehicle crash

Posted

A five-vehicle collision on Wednesday, July 6 resulted in a Granbury teenager being flown by medical helicopter to a Fort Worth hospital for treatment of his injuries, Granbury Deputy Chief of Police Cliff Andrews told the HCN via email.

Noah Robinson, 16, was flown by CareFlite to Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital in downtown Fort Worth after he “suffered several broken bones” in the accident, which occurred shortly before 11 a.m. near the intersection of Old Acton Highway and FM 4 South, Andrews stated. Robinson had been driving a 1999 Ford F150 pickup.

Jordan Teaver, 39, of Granbury, who was driving a 2016 Ford Focus, was transported to Lake Granbury Medical Center by Texas EMS, for treatment of unknown injuries, Andrews noted. There were no other injuries reported.

“The cause of the accident was a vehicle failing to yield right-of-way on an attempted left-hand (turn), Andrews stated. “The vehicle was attempting to turn left from Old Acton Highway onto FM 4 South. This initial collision caused both units to spin into other units on all lanes.”

The three other vehicles were: a 2016 Ford F150, driven by Stephen Mauritz, of Granbury; a 2017 Ford Econoline van, driven by Herman Erwin, 71, of Granbury, with Deborah Erwin, 66, as a passenger; and a 2017 Hyundai Tucson, driven by Paige Allison, 26, of Granbury, with a 4-year-old child as a passenger.
