A Memphis man lost his life in a one-vehicle accident in Donley County early Sunday morning.
Casey Ford, age 37, was pronounced dead at the scene by Justice of the Peace Denise Bertrand.
The accident occurred at about 3:50 a.m. when Ford was driving a 2001 Ford F-150 pick-up westbound on US 287 approximately two miles east of Lelia Lake.
The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) reports that Ford lost control of the vehicle, collided into a guardrail, and rolled over. Ford was not wearing his seat belt and as result was ejected from the vehicle.
A DPS spokesperson said the contributing factor to Ford losing control of the vehicle is unknown at press time and said the crash is still under investigation. Road conditions were dry, and no other vehicles were involved.
