Accidental deaths of children cast shadow over Labor Day weekend

It was a tragic Labor Day weekend for some Northeast Texas families, as two unrelated incidents resulted in accidental deaths Friday night. Three Lone Oak children died as a result of a vehicle accident Friday evening on U.S. Highway 69 in Grayson County. Alexander Samuel Grandy, 14; Amara Leah Grandy, 13; and Alvin Gary Grandy, 10; all died in the accident. Their father, Hyrum Grandy, was hospitalized. Texas Department of Public Safety officials say the 2006 Hyundai Elantra driven by Grandy veered to avoid a crash, struck a Ford F-150 pickup, and was then struck by a Chevrolet Silverado pickup. The three children all attended Rains ISD schools. A GoFundMe account has been established at https://tinyurl.com/4xzfs87y to support the Grandy family following their loss.
