One person was killed in a single-vehicle motorcycle accident in the Slidell area Tuesday night.
Texas DPS Sgt. Tony De La Cerda said Clinton Josiah Stephens, 38, of Decatur was southbound on Farm Road 1204 approaching Farm Road 51 on a 2005 American Ironhorse motorcycle when he failed to negotiate a curve, left the roadway and lost control.
The wreck happened at 9:30 p.m.
Wise County EMS transported Stephens to Medical City Decatur where he was pronounced dead by hospital staff, according to De La Cerda.
AirEvac LifeTeam 68 was called to the scene to transport Stephens to Medical City Denton. Wise County EMS administrator Randall Preuninger said the patient’s status changed and was in too critical of condition to be flown.
FM 1204 and FM 51 were temporarily shut down as first responders worked the accident. FM 51 was reopened shortly after 10:30 p.m.
De La Cerda said the investigation is ongoing.
