Shelby County DPS worked a major one-vehicle accident that led to the death of a 19-year-old girl and the serious injury of a Lufkin woman. Troopers say the crash occurred on Highway 7 about 1.5 miles west of FM 711. Reports say a 97 Ford Crown Victoria driven by Robin Griffin of Lufkin was traveling east on 7 at an unsafe speed when it went off the right side of the road. Troopers say the driver then over-corrected, and began to slide . The vehicle rolled over and ejected both Griffin and her passenger, Kristiana Gamboa , who was pronounced dead at the scene by Justice of the Peace Maxie Eaves.
Griffin was transported to LSU Hospital in Shreveport
