Fund set up to help Weatherton

A fund has been established at the Donley County State Bank for Loyd Weatherton’s medical expenses following a one-vehicle accident last Thursday evening, July 30.

DPS Trooper Lynn Mays said Weatherton was going north on SH 70 below the Greenbelt Dam when he went off the right side of the rode, apparently steered back left and rolled his vehicle.

The Clarendon Volunteer Fire Department extracted Weatherton and his passenger, Clemmon Weatherton, from the wreck. A third passenger, a minor female, was up and walking at the accident, the trooper said.

Mays said the cause of the accident remains under investigation. A family member says both Loyd and Clemmon Weatherton remain hospitalized, but Loyd is in much worse condition.

Those interested in making a donate can do so by going by the Donley County State Bank.
