Officials identified 65-year-old Gary Paul Miller as the man who received injuries following a rollover accident Monday evening in Hemphill.
As per the initial information, the single-vehicle crash took place at around 6:20 at the intersection of Highway 83 at Farm to Market Road 3121. The preliminary reports showed that Gary Paul Miller was driving a 2016 Mack truck and pulling a full load of logs eastbound on Highway 83 when he attempted to turn north onto FM 3121.
However, Miller was going at an unsafe speed, which caused his Vidor log truck and trailer to flip over and the logs to smash into Hemphill BBQ. Miller was taken by ambulance to St. Lukes Memorial Hospital in Lufkin in unknown condition. Officials confirmed a citation to Miller for driving at an Unsafe Speed. The rear dining room of the Sabine County restaurant was reportedly unstable due to severe damage. No other details are available.
The accident remains under investigation.
