Police Still Searching for Witnesses of Crash

LONGVIEW — Police in Longview continue seeking people who were on the scene of a crash earlier this month. On May 11 at 6:07 p.m., officers were dispatched to the 2500 block of West Marshall Ave. When officers arrived, they located two vehicles that had been involved in a crash. According to a witness, the driver of a 2003 GMC Yukon, Thomas Montgomery of Gladewater, lost control, over-corrected and traveled into the path of a Chevrolet S10 driven by 26-year-old Kevin Blake Gassett of Greenville. Gassett later died from his injuries.

During the course of the investigation police have learned that there may be other witnesses who observed the events that led up to, or actually witnessed, the crash. Police believe several potential witnesses may have posted comments on media and social media websites. Accident investigators are asking for anyone with any information to come forward and contact Officer Jeremy Higginbotham at [email protected] or 903-475-2009.
