\nEmergency crews were called to a report of a single vehicle accident along Highway 690 near SeRee Loop around 10:30 Wednesday (12\/20) morning.<\/p>\n
According to the Breckinridge County Sheriff\u2019s Office, a 2007 Buick driven by 20 year-old Joshua Lucas of Westview, was traveling North on Highway 690, when a dog ran out into the road. Lucas swerved to avoid the animal causing him to go off the right shoulder which resulted in him over correcting and skidding across the center line. The car went off the left shoulder of the road and down a steep embankment causing the vehicle to overturn several times.<\/p>\n
Lucas\u2019s father, 59 year-old Charles Lucas of Westview, was a passenger in the car and was ejected from the vehicle during the wreck and was trapped under the car. Charles Lucas was pronounced dead at the scene by the Breckinridge County Coroner.<\/p>\n
Joshua Lucas was taken to Breckinridge Memorial Hospital by Breck Central EMS for possible injuries. <\/p>\n
Both men were not wearing seat belts at the time of the accident.<\/p>\n
The Breckinridge County Sheriff\u2019s Office was assisted at the scene by the Harned and McDaniels Fire Departments. The investigation remains ongoing.
