      Car Accident claims life of John Shannon "Shan" Cox

      A one car accident claimed the life of a Sabine County man Sunday. According to a spokesman from the Department of Public Safety, Robert Hamilton, 21, Justin Conn, 21 and John Shannon Cox, 21 all of Milam, were traveling southbound on FM 1592 at 3:40 a.m. when the wreck occurred. The report indicates Hamilton was driving a 2013 Chevorlet Silverado pick-up truck at an unsafe speed, when he drove off the right side of the roadway. The report says he over-corrected turning to the right and skidded into a pipe fence post causing damage and turning the vehicle 180 degrees. The vehicle then flipped twice and came to rest in a pasture. John Shannon Cox was ejected from the vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene. Robert Hamilton was treated and released from Sabine County Hospital. Justin Conn was not injured. No one was wearing a seat-belt. Sabine County Sheriff's Office stated no arrest were made in connection to the accident at this time and no citation was issued at the time of the accident. The accident was investigated by Department of Public Safety Trooper Michael Thomasan.
