LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) _ A Lubbock County sheriff’s deputy is dead and two people have been injured in a traffic accident.
The Texas Department of Public Safety says Deputy D. Robert Harvey died early Sunday when his patrol vehicle collided with a pickup truck. DPS says the driver of the truck was trying to turn onto a county road when the vehicles collided head-on.
