Much-Loved School Teacher Dies In Car Accident In Northeast Denton
A much-loved teacher at Denton’s Wilson Elementary School was killed in a car accident in Northeast Denton Monday, three days after her retirement. Debra Davis, 58, died late Monday morning at a Fort Worth hospital after she was involved in a collision at the corner of Mingo Road and Nottingham Drive in northeast Denton, less than a mile from her home. Yesterday a pickup truck collided with Davis’ four-door car in the intersection just before 10 a.m. Someone didn’t stop for the light they’re doing a detailed investigation now that will determine who was at fault.
Other details of the accident were not immediately available. The Denton Police Department believed that the driver of the pickup truck wasn’t seriously injured and that neither vehicle had passengers. There is no evidence that alcohol was a factor. Davis retired Friday after more than a quarter-century with the school district, mostly as a third- and fourth-grade teacher.
My thoughts and prayers go out to Mrs. Davis’ friends and family. I am sure that she has been a role model to many kids and changed their lives for the better. She will certainly be truly missed.
