Donation protected
Shane is the big guy in the picture

A Tarkington man died Tuesday afternoon, Aug. 11, just a hour or so after his 14-year-old daughter was involved in a serious accident. His family now is trying to deal with his injured child while sorting out how to pay for his funeral.

Shane Bounds, 41, and his 14-year-old daughter, Jessica, were traveling along CR 2255 Tuesday around 1:45 p.m. when the family’s Chevy Suburban and pulling a trailer, left the roadway for a moment, throwing Jessica from the trailer.

For several minutes, she was pinned between the trailer and a culvert until a neighbor used a tractor to lift the trailer and free her.

Shane is the big guy in the picture.  Between seeing his daughter traped under the Suburbans trailer hitch and the heat of the day it was just more than his body could handle. He died an hour or two after the helicopter took his dauther to the trauma center i n Houston.
