Fort Worth Car Accident Outside Donut Shop Claims Life of Man

Posted on Jul 09, 2011

A Fort Worth car accident outside a local donut shop claims the life of an elderly man. The incident took place on Saturday morning, June 25, 2011, in the east Fort Worth area.

According to reports, two vehicles were involved in a minor car accident in the parking lot of a donut shop. Both drivers got out of their vehicles to exchange information. That is when one of the drivers got back inside his vehicle and began to drive off.

The second driver, 70-year-old Jerry Winton, grabbed onto the fleeing car and was dragged across the parking lot. He eventually fell into the street and was run over by the first driver. Mr. Winton lost his life due to injuries sustained in the accident. The driver of the vehicle that hit Mr. Winton fled the accident scene.

Mr. Winton was a Vietnam veteran who served in two tours. He stopped by the donut shop every Saturday morning to pick up breakfast for his family.

"He was our rock," said family members Nancy Winton and City King.

The Fort Worth car accident is still under investigation by local authorities. Police are still searching for the driver who ran over him.

This is a terrible tragedy, and we would like to extend our thoughts and condolences to Mr. Winton's family and friends during this tragic time.
