Timothy Meeks injured in South Lubbock crash, LPD says - The Legal Advocate

Officers said the collision happened around 3:30 p.m. When an SUV turned into the path of a pickup truck Meeks was driving along 98th Street.
Meeks was taken to Covenant Medical Center. The SUV's driver, an 84-year-old man, was transported to University Medical Center. LPD has not released the identity of the driver who died.
The intersection sits in a stretch of South Lubbock that sees steady afternoon traffic, putting the crash squarely in the day's busiest driving window for that part of town.
The age gap between the two drivers, 38 years, raises the kind of question LPD's investigation will eventually have to answer about who had the right of way and what caused the SUV to turn when it did.
