Tommy Patterson, 43, was driving east on U.S.
Highway 82 when his 2005 gray Nissan Titan pickup truck crossed the center
median and westbound lanes, according to Officer Terry Robertson’s police
report. The pickup truck went into the ditch on the westbound south, hit a
culvert and went airborne over a driveway and three-foot fence, according
to officers on the scene.
The pickup truck smashed a green trash container, landed and continued
east into a tin metal building that serves as a Frito Lay warehouse, at
3809 E. U.S 82. As it went through the building, it knocked over boxes of
dips and chips scattering them about. The pickup truck came to a stop
against boxes of Cheetos stacked against the east wall.
As the cause of the accident, Robertson listed Patterson having an
epileptic seizure.
No one was inside the warehouse when the accident occurred.
A Cooke County Emergency Medical Services ambulance crew transported
Patterson to North Texas Medical Center for treatment. Relatives, who
responded to the scene, said Patterson was epileptic and could have had a
seizure.
After police officers requested, a health department inspector was
expected to visit the warehouse to check the snack food before it would be
placed on the market.
