A single-vehicle accident in Collingsworth County claimed the life of a local man Friday afternoon.
Sean P. Campbell, a 22-year-old ranch hand from Clarendon, died at the scene of the accident, according Texas Department of Public Safety Trooper Daniel Hawthorne.
Campbell was westbound on FM 1056 at 3:18 p.m. eight miles west of Wellington approaching FM 1547 and was entering a curve in a 2000 Chevrolet pickup when he crossed the center line and left the roadway. The DPS said Campbell overcorrected, which caused the pickup to roll, partially ejecting the driver. He was not wearing a seatbelt.
Collingsworth County Justice of the Peace Jo Rita Henard pronounced Campbell dead at 3:59.
Funeral services were held Tuesday at the Church of the Nazarene in Clarendon. Graveside services were held at 2 p.m. Tuesday in Citizens Cemetery.
Survivors include his mother LaDonna Campbell of Farmers Branch, his father and step-mother Ed and Marsha Campbell of Wellington; grandparents Barbara Hewett of Clarendon, and Jack and Dana Campbell of Farmington, NM.; aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
Memorials may be made to the Clarendon College RFO Program.
