David Thomas Fairchild, 68, a San Angelo resident, has been identified as the guy who perished in the tragedy. Fairchild had turned into FM 2105 from a private road, heading west in a 1999 Ford F-250 pickup.
Timothy James Clark, 43, of San Angelo, was hit from behind by Timothy James Clark’s 2004 Ford F-250 while he was changing into the westbound lane.
After the crash, Fairchild slowed down and came to a stop, but Clark crossed the center line, struck a fence, and then rolled onto its side before stopping upright at the entrance to Oilfield Drive on the north side of FM 2105.
Clark was tragically declared dead at the spot, and it was found that he had not fastened his seatbelt. Conversely, Fairchild managed to get away from the situation unscathed.
The road was dry and there was still daylight when the incident occurred. The posted speed limit at the scene is 60 mph.

After a delay, the preliminary crash report changed the reported time of the call for assistance from 7:19 p.m. to 7:05 p.m.
