JACKSONVILLE, Texas — An elderly man was killed Monday morning after a wreck involving a truck towing a trailer in Jacksonville.
A 2013 Dodge pickup was traveling east bound on East Rusk Street in Jacksonville just after 10 a.m. while towing a trailer, which started to sway and eventually became uncontrollable, police said.
The pickup and trailer, driven by Micah McSwain, 25, of Gladewater, entered into the westbound lane, where a 2014 Nissan Altima was traveling west on East Rusk. The Nissan, which was driven by Vito Barruzza, 84, of Henderson, struck the towed trailer, police said.
Barruzza was pronounced dead at the scene, and his passenger was not injured. McSwain was also not injured, according to police.
The crash is under investigation.
