A 48-year-old man died as the result of a vehicle crash in front of Veterans Memorial High School

Date: Tuesday, September 8, 2015, 17:22
Location: 3750 Cimarron Boulevard
Event: Vehicle Crash with Fatal Injuries
Case Number: 1509080128

A 48-year-old man died as the result of a vehicle crash in front of Veterans Memorial High School this afternoon.

The 48-year-old man operated a Dodge Charger and was stopped in the driveway for the school and waited for traffic to leave the school and enter Cimarron Boulevard. A 26-year-old man operated a red Ford F-150 pickup truck and traveled north on Cimarron Boulevard in front of the High School. The truck left the roadway to travel on the sidewalk and the front center of the truck struck the drivers door of the Dodge Charger. Both vehicles were thrown into the soil on the grounds of the High School.

The 26-year-old man was taken to the hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries. The 48-year-old man was transported to the hospital, but did not survive.

The Corpus Christi Police Traffic Safety Section responded to measure and construct a scale diagram and to investigate the crash. The Crash Investigators have at least one witness who provided a statement. Investigators do not believe alcohol was a factor in the crash, but do believe speed was a factor to the fatal injuries and significant damage to the vehicles.

The Corpus Christi Police closed the two northbound lanes of traffic on Cimarron Boulevard and let northbound traffic travel in the center turn lane past the crash scene from 5:45pm until about 9pm Tuesday night while Crash Investigators used laser mapping systems, collected evidence and photographed the scene.

The 26-year-old man remains in the hospital for medical treatment and no charges have been applied; however, Crash Investigators believe charges will be applied at a later time if evidence and information supports a criminal accusation. Crash Investigators know more people saw the event and ask anyone with any information about this crash, no matter how insignificant it may seem to the witness, to contact the Traffic Safety Section at 886-2600 during business hours. Investigators want the public not to assume information has been provided to Investigators and to contact the Investigators as soon as possible.

The Public can expect to see increased traffic enforcement in the 3700 block of Cimarron in the near future.

Police Warn Public of Potential Phone Scam

Corpus Christi Police would like help from the public to identify the person in this phone record. A person in the Corpus Christi community received a phone call on August 16, 2015 from 361-219-4997 by a person who identified them self as Lieutenant Wade Harris and claimed the person called had a warrant for their arrest. The person who received the phone call did not believe the caller and then called the Corpus Christi Police and learned there is no Wade Harris employed by the Corpus Christi Police, there was no warrant for their arrest, and this may be a scam.

Any person contacted by phone about any warrant for their arrest should ask several questions to determine if the caller is legitimate. A law enforcement officer who contacts a person by phone about a warrant for arrest will provide specific information such as the agency the Officer represents, the Officer’s name, the exact charge against the person for which the warrant has been issued, a phone number for the agency, and the Officer will never demand money in an effort to avoid or delay arrest.
Anyone with any information or questions about this caller should call the Corpus Christi Police at 361-886-2600.

Update:

A 71-year-old man reported to the Corpus Christi Police on August 21, 2015 that he provided over $800 dollars to a person who claimed to be Lance Dobson, a Deputy with the Nueces County Sheriff’s Department, and claimed the 71-year-old man had a warrant for his arrest. The 71-year-old man told Officers he provided payment to Dobson by telling the card numbers from Paypal cards in order to avoid an imminent arrest. The 71-year-old man said Dobson called from the number 361-219-9147. The Corpus Christi Police Financial Crimes began to investigate this crime and determined there is no Lance Dobson employed with the Nueces County Sheriff’s Office, and the Deputies do not identify their agency as the Sheriff’s Department. Detectives also determined there was no warrant for the arrest for the 71 year old man. Detectives want the public to be aware of this scam and only pay any fine or court costs to the court directly and never over the phone.
