Richard Hunter. The driver, a 21-year-old Granbury man, and another traveler, a 21-year-old Godley occupant, were shipped to a Fort Worth emergency clinic with undisclosed wounds.

Payton C. Herman of Godley was moved to John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth where he kicked the bucket from his wounds, Hunter expressed.

At 1:19 a.m. Saturday, DPS troopers were told of the accident, on Bolton Road in northern Hood County, Hunter said.

“Starter examination shows a 2017 Polaris Utility Vehicle was voyaging southwest on Bolton Road,” Hunter wrote in an email. “For an unsure explanation, the driver, Kayleb T. Erwin, 21, of Granbury, went off the street into the hand truck ditch where the Polaris upset and struck a fence.”
