4 Hospitalized in Major Accident, LIVINGSTON, April 29, 2019 - At approximately 12:20 pm on April 29, 2019, a gray 2013 Ford Expedition, driven by Steven Weaver, 54, of Goodrich, was south-bound on US-146. Weaver's vehicle suddenly T-boned a black 1995 Ford F-150, driven by Steven Dauzat, 18, of Livingston. Dauzat was north-bound on 146 and attempted a left turn onto Providence Road, but failed to yield to Weaver. The vehicles impacted and spun around. Weaver's vehicle left the pavement to the right while Dauzat's came to rest in the middle of 146. Allegiance Ambulance Service was dispatched to the scene along with the Livingston Volunteer Fire Department Heavy Rescue Unit, Deputies from the Polk County Sheriff's Office and Troopers Allen Stanton and John Allen with the Texas Highway Patrol. Weaver and his passenger were pinned in their vehicle. Firemen used the Jaws-of-Life to cut the door off of Weaver's vehicle (Dauzat and his passenger exited their vehicle under their own power). Weaver and his passenger, Dauzat and his passenger were all transported by ambulance to CHI Livingston Memorial Hospital with undisclosed injuries. One lane of traffic on 146 was blocked during investigation and cleanup. Dauzat was cited for failure to yield, driving an unregistered vehicle, and no insurance. Dauzat's vehicle was recovered by LakeView Wrecker and will be stored in Livingston. Weaver's vehicle was recovered by Ken's Towing and will be stored at Harrison Body Shop in Livingston.
