Angelina County, TX — August 8, 2024, Candice Kerr was injured as the result of a car accident at around 10:20 p.m. along Highway 63.
Authorities said in preliminary statements that the accident happened off the corner of Highway 63 and County Road 339 near Zavalla.
Officials say that 38-year-old Candice Kerr was in a Nissan Altima going eastbound on the highway. The vehicle somehow traveled off the side of the road where it crashed into the guardrail. As a result, Kerr sustained serious injuries. No one else appeared to be involved in the crash.

With single-vehicle wrecks like this, one of the concerns is if authorities have the tools, time, and motivation to actually investigate some of the more complex possible factors. For example, mechanical defects aren’t common. As such, departments don’t always have the training and equipment to investigate them. So when they do happen, they often go overlooked, or their causes can’t be pinned down.
That’s why there usually has to be an investigation from a dedicated accident reconstructionist before all the facts are clear. It’s one of the reasons I’ve always relied on independent accident reconstructionists. They can catch small details that officials tend to miss. That way, if there was something unusual that contributed to the crash, it, too, can be addressed. Have authorities here been more thorough than usual, or would a closer investigation reveal they missed something?
