LUFKIN — The pregnant Garrison woman injured in a Diboll wreck Monday is in stable condition at Memorial Medical Center-Lufkin but her unborn baby boy did not survive the crash, according to her sister.
Mary Chiz, 38, and her fiance, Travis Wertz, 35, were traveling along U.S. Highway 59 south in Diboll when an 18-wheeler rear-ended their Montero Sport, forcing them into the 18-wheeler in front of them, according to previous reports. Emergency workers from Lufkin and Diboll fire departments spent nearly 30 minutes freeing the couple from the mangled SUV. The driver of the 18-wheeler that rear-ended Chiz was cited for failure to control speed, Diboll Police said.
