60 year old Isidra Mondoza-Reyes, of Goodrich, was driving this 2009 Mazda Tribute and failed to yield on US-59 at the north end of Loop 393.

Accident Hospitalizes 3, 1 Flown to Conroe, GOODRICH, August 15, 2020 - At approximately 9:15 am on August 15, 2020, a red 2014 Toyota Highlander, driven by Priscilla Warren, 76, of Tyler, was south-bound on US-59 when a gray 2009 Mazda Tribute, driven by Isidra Mendoza-Reyes attempted to pull from the north-bound side, over the south-bound side to the north end of Loop 393. Mendoza-Reyes failed to yield and the vehicles collided.

Allegiance Ambulance Service was dispatched to the scene along with Goodrich Volunteer Fire Department and Trooper Colton McQuilkin with the Texas Highway Patrol.
