A Queen City, Texas, man has been arrested in the death of a Jacksonville, Texas, woman in a vehicle accident on U.S. Highway 59.
Tyler Reed Pate, 23, of Queen City is charged with intoxication assault, according to Texas Department of Public Safety.
The accident happened at 10:38 p.m. April 12 about 5 miles southwest of Texarkana, Texas, on U.S. 59. Pate was driving a Ford Fusion southwest on U.S. 59 in the left lane when he allegedly collided with a Toyota Avalon in the right lane.

The Avalon's driver, Perry Morgan, 57, of Jacksonville was taken to CHRISTUS St. Michael Health System in serious condition. The Avalon's passenger, Edna Morgan, 53, was taken to Wadley Regional Medical Center, where she later died from her injuries.
