Henry at 8 p.m. Saturday was driving on FM 105 near Alpine Street when he lost control of his vehicle on a curve in the roadway, authorities said. Car accident reports state Henry’s vehicle left the roadway and struck a culvert, causing it to roll multiple times.
The vehicle eventually came to rest after it crashed into a nearby tree. Henry was ejected from his vehicle during the crash. He was pronounced dead at the scene of the wreck by a local justice of the peace, according to car accident reports.
It is unclear from reports available Sunday whether anyone else was in Henry’s vehicle at the time of the crash.
The Texas Department of Public Safety continues to investigate the incident. It is unclear whether factors like the use of intoxicants contributed to the crash, though authorities did say they believe Henry was traveling at an unsafe speed just before the wreck.
Authorities did not say whether any other car accident reports are forthcoming.
