David Thomas Fairchild Obituary – Additional information has been released by the Texas DPS regarding the fatal crash that took place on FM 2105 at 7:05 p.m. on Saturday, April 27th. The man who lost his life in the accident has been identified as David Thomas Fairchild, a 68-year-old resident of San Angelo. Fairchild was driving a 1999 Ford F-250 pickup and had turned west from a private drive onto FM 2105.
As he was merging into the westbound lane, he was struck from behind by Timothy James Clark, a 43-year-old from San Angelo, who was driving a 2004 Ford F-250. Fairchild slowed down and stopped after the collision, but Clark veered off the road, crashed into a fence, and rolled over onto its side before coming to a stop upright at the entrance of Oilfield Drive on the north side of FM 2105. Tragically, Clark was pronounced dead at the scene, and it was determined that he was not wearing a seatbelt. Fairchild, on the other hand, escaped the incident without any injuries.
The speed limit at the crash site is 60 mph, and the road conditions were dry with daylight still present. The Tom Green County Sheriff’s Office and Grape Creek Volunteer Fire Department provided assistance at the crash scene, while the investigation was carried out by DPS Trooper Nicholas Easter. Initially, the call for service was reported to have occurred at 7:19 p.m., but the preliminary crash report later revised the time to 7:05 p.m.
