The Texas Department of Public Safety is looking for an unknown driver after a woman died at the scene of an accident in Armstrong County last week.
DPS Sgt. Cindy Barkley reported the one-vehicle crash occurred about 2:25 a.m. last Thursday, March 25, on US 287 about ten miles southeast of Claude.
2020 Hyundai Elantra was headed southeast on US 287, and the driver apparently failed to drive in single lane and drove into the south ditch where the car struck a concrete culvert. The vehicle vaulted end over end and came to rest in the ditch on its right side.
The DPS reports that the passenger in the car, 43-year-old Stefani Patterson of Claude, died on scene on the scene and was pronounced deceased by Armstrong County Justice of the Peace Jana Lemons.
The driver of the vehicle left the scene and is being sought for questioning. The crash remains under investigation.
