Winn Man Dies In Accident

A Winnfield man was killed in a head-on collision early Friday morning between
two tractor trailer rigs in East Texas.

Thomas A. Fogger, 55, died in the accident, which occurred about 12 miles east
of Atlanta, Texas, and about 10 miles south of Texarkana, said Bill Wilson of
the Texas Department of Public Safety in Texarkana.

Fogger was driving a truck carrying wood chips and lumber for Louisiana
Pacific Corp. of Winnfield.

The accident apparently occurred when Fogger, northbound on U. S. 59, crossed
double yellow lines and struck a southbound truck, said department spokesman
Gary Chandler.

Bobby Ray Peters of Little Rock, Ark., was the driver of the other rig,
carrying rolled paper for Parco of Little Rock.  Peters was not injured,
Chandler said.

One of the trucks caught fire after the accident, Wilson added.  The 5:51 a.m.
accident forced closure of three of four lanes of the highway for several
hours.
