WICHITA FALLS, Texas (KAUZ) - UPDATE:

As of Friday afternoon, police officials are no longer describing the victim’s injuries as “life-threatening.”

A wreck at the intersection of Seymour Highway, Loop 11, and Beverly Drive resulted in a man being charged with Intoxication Assault.

Our crews on the scene saw an ambulance leave just as they arrived.

WFPD public information officer Sgt. Charlie Eipper told our crews that a truck was driving westbound on Seymour Highway while a car turned left from eastbound Seymour Highway onto Loop 11.

37-year-old Anastacio Mendoza, the driver of the truck, was transported Mendoza to the Wichita County jail after being treated. A 68-year-old woman was transported to the URHCS with suspected life-threatening injuries.

According to Eipper, witnesses at the scene said the truck ran the light at a high speed and hit the car. The woman was in the vehicle turning onto Loop 11. Mendoza was in the truck driving westbound on Seymour Hwy. Both were rushed to United Regional.
