Single Vehicle Accident Hospitalizes Mother and 3 Kids, LIVINGSTON, January 8, 2024 - Shortly before 1 pm on January 8, 2024, a blue 2015 Honda Accord, driven by Roshunda Reece, 33, of Cleveland, was south-bound on US-59.  Reece's vehicle allegedly hydroplaned and slid off the pavement to the left and impacted a guardrail (at South Livingston just before the creek overpass).  Allegiance Ambulance Service was dispatched to the scene along with the Livingston Police Department, inlcuding Officer Karen Lopez and Sergeant Chad Lilley.  Reece and her three children were all transported by ambulance to CHI Livingston Memorial Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.  Reece's vehicle was recovered by Smith Towing out of Livingston.  No citations were issued.
 
Editor's Note:  In the pictures, you can see that the guardrail did what it was designed to do and didn't impale the vehicle, but rather unravels into the center median.
 
Special thank you:  Jennifer Steelhammer

33 year old Roshunda Reece, of Cleveland was driving this 2015 Honda Accord South on US-59 and hydroplaned into the guardrail just south of the creek overpass in South Livingston.
In this picture you can see how the guardrail deflected OFF the car (instead of impaling the car).
