GILMER, Texas — A Gilmer woman is dead following a 1-vehicle crash in Upshur County.
According to the Texas Department of Public Safety, around 10:45 a.m., troopers responded to a fatal crash on Farm-to-Market Road 852, just west of Gilmer.
The investigators preliminary report indicates the driver of a pickup, identified as Judy Henderson, 64, of Gilmer, was traveling west on FM 852 at an unsafe speed.
While in a curve in the roadway, DPS says Henderson crossed the center stripe into the eastbound lanes and then over-corrected to the right causing the vehicle to go into a side-skid and off the road to the north.
Henderson was pronounced dead at the scene and was taken to a Gilmer funeral home.
The crash remains under investigation.
