An Aspermont man was killed in a three-vehicle accident Tuesday morning in Stonewall County.
The Texas Department of Public Safety reports 18-year-old Matthew Zinn Lindsey was killed after hitting a trailer and being forced into the oncoming path of an oversize load.
The victim was driving his pickup behind a Mack truck that was towing a trailer, and as the truck was pulling over to allow room for a westbound Freightliner carrying an oversize load, his pickup struck the back left of the trailer and went into the path of the oversize load and sheared the top of his pickup, according to the report.
Lindsey was pronounced dead at the scene and taken to McCoy Funeral Home in Aspermont.
He was not wearing a seat belt.
