A 46-year-old West Tawakoni man was killed Friday night in an automobile crash on Rabbit Cove Road in West Tawakoni near Raintree, according to Chief of Police Brandon Kilpatrick.
Kilpatrick said Jerrol Lane Calk was ejected from his pickup after it struck a parked truck and rolled over five times.
According to police reports, a woman had parked her pickup about 20 feet in front of a friend’s car. Kilpatrick said Calk’s pickup missed the car but struck the pickup truck.
“When he struck the vehicle, he struck at an angle to cause his vehicle to become airborne,” Kilpatrick said.
It was believed the pickup did a spiral and began flipping over, he said.
The road was closed during parts of Monday afternoon to allow Kilpatrick and Texas Department of Public Safety officers to take measurements.
Justice of the Peace Wayne Money pronounced Calk dead at the scene at 10:47 p.m.
The West Tawakoni Volunteer Fire Department assisted at the scene including Fire Chief Jeff Felts, Assistant Chief Kevin Willbanks, James Felts, Skully Robinson, Kyle Harrison, William Howell, Brandon Murphy, Mike Fagan, Cody Reynolds and Cody Jordan.
