One man dead after accident on Highway 90 in Vidor

A 911 caller said a driver was trapped in the car and not responding. When Acadian ambulance arrived, the driver was pronounced dead at the scene.

VIDOR, Texas — One person died after an accident in Vidor Saturday night. 

The accident happened near the intersection of Highway 90 and North Dewitt, Vidor Police Chief Rod Carroll said in a news release. A 911 caller told Vidor dispatch that the driver was trapped in the car and not responding. 

When Acadian ambulance arrived, the driver was pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver has been identified by the Vidor Police Department as 32-year-old Beaumont resident Justin Lynn Sturrock.

The initial investigation showed that Sturrock was traveling southbound on North Dewitt when he failed to yield right-of-way at a stop sign, Carroll said. A second car traveling westbound on Highway 90 hit Sturrock's car in the driver's side door. 

Sturrock was pronounced dead by Orange County Justice of the Peace Joy Dubose-Simonton. An autopsy has been ordered.

The driver of the second car refused to be taken to the hospital, Carroll said.
