Southpaw Posted November 8, 2008 Report Posted November 8, 2008 One dead and four injured in Friday crash 11/08/08 By Mike Lout Email this story to a friend A Hardin County man died on Friday evening when the vehicle he was driving collided head on with pick up truck about 7.5 miles north of Jasper on Highway 96. The Texas Department of Public Safety said the crash occurred shortly after 9:00, when a 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt, which was southbound on Highway 96, for some unknown reason, crossed over the centerline and ran head on into a northbound 1996 Dodge pick up truck. The driver of the Chevrolet, Joel Scott Schooling, 19, of Silsbee, was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the Dodge, William Isaac Rawls, a 22 year old oilfield worker from Pineland and three of his passengers, Angel Jacobs, 23, Clint Jacobs, 6, and 1 year old William Braden Rawls, all of Pineland, were all taken to Christus Jasper Memorial Hospital where they were at last word still undergoing treatment. The accident was investigated by state trooper Eric Malone, who filed a report saying that both the deceased and Rawls were wearing seat belts when the crash occurred.
mactiger Posted November 8, 2008 Report Posted November 8, 2008 My prayers go out to Joel's family. He was a great kid. Mild mannered off the field, but a force to be reckoned with when he stepped on the mound. He will be missed.

I never heard anyone have anything negative to say about him. He must have been a great person. I hope that God will be with all of the families involved and give them peace during this terrible time.
