ANGELINA ANGELINA COUNTY — A Lufkin woman remains hospitalized after her car was crashed into by a man who authorities say admitted to being drunk and high on methamphetamine Tuesday night.
Kaley Linton, 20, is now recovering at Woodland Heights Medical Center with a broken pelvis and back after Marshall Lucas Jr., 27, reportedly ran a red light and struck her driver’s side door around 11:00 Tuesday evening. Linton had to be cut out of her mangled Ford Mustang by Lufkin Fire paramedics while Lucas hopped into the back of a squad car and asked to be taken to the hospital. Lucas then jumped out of the vehicle and told the officers not to take him in. He then reportedly resisted arrest. Lucas remained in the Angelina County Jail on a collective $3,000 bond.
