A fatality accident just after midnight on Wednesday, Sept. 21 at CR 257, eight miles northwest of Early, claimed the life of 33-year-old Michael Ray Reeves of Brownwood, according to information provided Friday by the Texas Department of Public Safety.

The preliminary investigation concluded a 1998 Chevrolet Tahoe was traveling south on CR 257 when it approached a right-hand curve in the roadway and lost control, leaving the east side of the road into a ditch striking two trees.
