VOSS, TX -- A Paint Rock man died last night after a rollover crash on FM1929. 

According to the Texas Department of Public Safety, on September 9, at around 11:30 p.m., troopers were dispatched to FM 1929 just 11 miles south of Voss for the report of a major motor vehicle accident. 

When they arrived, they discovered a 2001 Ford F-250 rolled over in the side of the road with the driver ejected from the vehicle. 

Troopers say that the driver was 58-year-old Curtis Shipman of Paint Rock. His body was taken to the Lange Funeral Home in Ballinger. 

The passenger, 64-year-old Wanda Shipman of Paint Rock, was taken to Shannon with critical injuries.
