| Notes THE PARIS NEWS, June 14, 2004: 'Trooper, firefighter among eight killed in two highway wrecks - SULPHUR SPRINGS, Texas, An off-duty Department of Public Safety trooper and a member of the Grapevine Fire Department were among eight people killed in two weekend accidents along Interstate 30 in East Texas, authorities say. It began at 7:09 p.m. Sunday when a vehicle apparently blew a rear tire and rolled over on I-30 near Sulphur Springs. Three family members from Sulphur Springs died in the crash. They were identified as Delfino Bautista, 46; his wife Hortencia Bautista, 39; and an unidentified teenage girl, DPS spokesman Lt. Ben Valdez said. Three children in the vehicle were taken to Dallas area hospitals, but their injuries are not considered life threatening, Valdez said. The four-lane highway was closed in both directions after the crash and traffic was diverted around a service road. With the highway still closed, a passenger car driven by off-duty DPS trooper Stanley Wayne Avery was rear-ended by an 18-wheeler at 8:39 p.m., causing a five-vehicle pile-up. The crash happened in the westbound lanes of I-30, just a few miles away from the first crash. Killed at the scene was Avery; his son Jack; his friend Matthew Ringler, a 33-year-old member of the Grapevine Fire Department; and Ringler's son, Chance. The truck driver, 56-year-old William Ledford, died at a nearby hospital. There were other injuries, though none of them were life threatening, Valdez said. Valdez said Avery and Ringler were driving their sons back from a baseball game they had played in when the crash happened. He said both crashes were under investigation. 'We know what happened here and we have the basic details,' Valdez said. 'We just have to get all the other questions answered as well.'' THE PARIS NEWS, June 15, 2004: 'Trooper killed in Sulphur Springs collision grew up in Paris - SULPHUR SPRINGS, State Trooper Stanley Wayne Avery, formerly of Paris, and Matthew Ringler, a firefighter in Grapevine, were friends whose sons shared a common bond: baseball. All four became victims in one of two weekend freeway crashes in East Texas. A total of eight people died, leaving families from Sulphur Springs to Grapevine to grieve. A Texas Department of Public Safety accident reconstruction team on Monday collected data on Sunday's crashes along westbound Interstate 30 just east of Sulphur Springs. The son of Clifton and Doris Avery of Paris, the trooper grew up in the city and also worked as a trooper there before transferring to Sulphur Springs. Services for Avery will be at 10 a.m. Wednesday at Central Baptist Church in Sulphur Springs. Avery, who became a state trooper in 1999, had served more than eight years on the regional narcotics task force. His former partner, Trooper David Reynolds, said Avery was devoted to his work and was known as a trooper you could count on. 'You never had to watch your back when you were with him because he'd be watching it for you,' Reynolds told The Dallas Morning News in Tuesday's editions. 'We put a lot of bad people in jail together.' Sunday's first crash occurred when Delfino Bautista of Sulphur Springs was driving with his family. A rear tire on their 1988 Chevrolet Blazer blew out and the vehicle rolled over at 7:09 p.m. Bautista, 46; his wife, Hortencia, 39; and their daughter Hilda Martinez Bautista died in the crash. Three other children - Juan, Daniel and Lucy - were hurt. The four-lane interstate was closed in both directions after the crash, with traffic diverted to a service road. While the highway was still closed, the car driven by Ringler was rear-ended by an 18-wheeler in the westbound lanes at 8:39 p.m., causing a five-vehicle pile-up a few miles from the first crash, authorities said. Dead at the scene were Ringler, his son, Chance; Avery and his son, Jack, 11. The men's wives had traveled in a separate car and all were to meet at a restaurant for dinner. The rig's driver, 56-year-old William Ledford, died at a nearby hospital.' |
