 Re:

I found this info online:

Wilkerson was driving east on U.S. 175 in Cuney, Texas, Wednesday afternoon, and moved into the opposite lane where a tractor trailer was driving westbound.

The truck driver saw the car and tried to move out of the way, but still collided with the pastor's car head on, according to Public Safety Trooper Eric Long.

The accident occurred on the Neches River bridge, about 100 miles outside Dallas. Wilkerson and his wife had recently moved to Tyler, Texas, from New York.

It's unclear what caused him to veer into the other lane. The truck driver has since been released from the hospital.
