SMITH COUNTY — Two men were taken to a Tyler hospital Saturday for “significant” injuries after their 2002 Ford Ranger crashed into a creek bed on Farm Road 724 near Tyler Pounds Airport. The Department of Public Safety says the driver fell asleep and their pickup ran off of the road around 4:00 Saturday afternoon. The driver made the 911 call, but he was unaware of his location, so first responders had to “ping” his cell phone to locate the vehicle.
