56 year old Patricia Hamilton, of Livingston, was driving this 2010 Nissan Altima on FM-350 south and was slammed from behind.
2 Vehicle Accident Hospitalizes 2, LIVINGSTON, February 26, 2018 - At approximately 6 am on February 26, 2018, a black 2010 Nissan Altima, driven by Patricia Hamilton, 56, of Livingston, was south-bound on FM-350 South.  Hamilton stopped in the 1117 block to make a left turn into a driveway and was slammed from behind by a black 2016 Kia Altima, driven by Felicia Shaunte Walker, 29, of Houston.  Walker was south-bound behind Hamilton and failed to control her speed.  The impact caused Hamilton's vehicle to spin around and come to rest on the north-bound side on the shoulder while Walker's vehicle left the pavement to the right and came to rest in the muddy weeds.  Allegiance and Americare Ambulance Service were dispatched to the scene along with Corporal Ramey Bass and Troopers John Allen and Darwon Evans with the Texas Highway Patrol.  Hamilton and her male passenger were both transported by ambulance to CHI Livingston Memorial Hospital with undisclosed injuries.  Walker was physically okay.  Traffic on 350 was partially blocked during investigation and cleanup.  Walker was cited for failure to control speed.  A rollback wrecker from Ken's Towing recovered Walker's vehicle and it will be stored at Pollock's Body Shop in Livingston.  Hamilton's vehicle was recovered by a rollback from LakeView Wrecker and will be stored in Livingston.
