Wills Point teen killed

By Kevin Jefferies

Wills Point – A Wills Point teen was killed last week after his vehicle was struck head-on by a dump truck. 17 year old Justin Lee Dugger was southbound along FM 751 in a '94 Camaro when the collision occurred with Ben Depue of Lone Oak. Officials said the Camaro was driving on the wrong side of the road in a no passing zone, leaving Depue no time to react.

The vehicles struck head-on, and Dugger's car was pulled under the dump truck and left a barely recognizable mass of twisted metal. Dugger was pronounced dead at the scene.
