(July 5, 2008) – A 16-year-old Gatesville youth was killed instantly when his 4-wheeler left a rural Coryell County roadway and struck a tree.
Gatesville Fire Chief Billy Vaden told News 10 Dustin L. Weber had been riding his 4-wheeer back and forth along Greenbriar Road and as he climbed a hill near the crossing of Coryell Creek, the youth lost control of the vehicle, left the paved roadway and struck a large tree.
Vaden said Weber was thrown from the 4-wheeler as the crash happened.
It is not known of the youth was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash.
Emergency responders from the fire department and Coryell Memorial Hospital’s Emergency Medical Service were dispatched to the 3800 block of Greenbriar at about 3:40 p.m.
Vaden was first on the scene and he immediately requested a justice of the peace be sent to the crash to make a pronouncement of death.
Coryell County Justice of the Peace Larry McDonald told News 10 he pronounced Weber dead at the scene at 4:08 pm. McDonald did not order an autopsy.
The accident scene is about 4-1/2 miles east of Gatesville.
Funeral arrangements for Weber are pending.
