A Howardwick man lost his life in a single-vehicle accident Sunday morning west of Claude.
The Texas Department of Public Safety reported Jordan Chavira, 26, was pronounced deceased at the scene by Armstrong County Justice of the Peace Jana Lemons.
According to the DPS, Chavira was eastbound on US-287 about ten miles west of Claude at about 6:35 a.m. when the 2001 Ford Explorer he was driving left the roadway and traveled into the center median. He over-corrected the steering, causing him to lose control. The vehicle traveled back onto the roadway, across the lanes of travel, and rolled over multiple times before coming to rest upside down in the ditch south of the roadway.
The report said Chavira was not wearing a seatbelt and was ejected from the vehicle.
Texas Highway Patrol Troopers continue to investigate the crash.
