TAYLOR COUNTY, TX — A Novice man died in a single-vehicle crash Wednesday morning after losing control on a wet road and being ejected, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.
The crash happened around 9:50 a.m. on Farm Market Road 382, about 0.1 miles south of County Road 178. DPS officials said the driver, identified as 28-year-old Jose Luis Ramirez Jr., was traveling southbound at an unsafe speed for the conditions when his 1999 GMC Sierra "exited the roadway in a side skid and overturned, ejecting the driver."
Ramirez, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was ejected from the vehicle and pronounced deceased at the scene.
