Fatal Van Zandt County Crash

Troopers responded early Saturday morning to a fatal crash on I-20, five miles west of Canton in Van Zandt County.  The investigator’s preliminary report indicates that the driver of a 2002 Volkswagen Cabrio, Brandy Rene Tovar, 30, of Longview, was traveling westbound on I-20 and failed to maintain a single lane entering the center median. Once in the median the vehicle went into a side skid and then traveled back onto I- 20 crossing both lanes entering the outside median. The vehicle rolled several times, ejecting the driver who was transported to Kaufman Presbyterian Hospital. Dr. Ouyang pronounced her deceased.
