A tragic accident in the early hours of Saturday, May 10, claimed the life of one woman and left two others injured after a utility terrain vehicle (UTV) crash in the Moss Bluff area of Liberty County.
According to Sgt. Rob Willoughby, supervisor for the Liberty County office of the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), the crash occurred shortly before 1 a.m. on the 600 block of CR 133. A John Deere side-by-side UTV, carrying two women and one man, left the roadway and struck a culvert, resulting in all three occupants being ejected from the vehicle.
One of the passengers, a 40-year-old woman from Liberty, was airlifted to a nearby trauma center but was later pronounced dead from her injuries. Her identity has not been released pending notification of next of kin.
The two other individuals were also injured and were transported to area hospitals for treatment. Their conditions have not been disclosed at this time.
Authorities have launched an investigation into the cause of the crash. No further details have been released as of yet.
This marks the third fatal crash in Liberty County this week, according to Sgt. Willoughby.
“All three of these deaths were preventable,” he said. “We are asking everyone to please use caution when operating any kind of vehicle. These tragedies don’t have to keep happening.”
Everyone should know that the other female in the acciden is Liberty County Constable, Precinct 1. Tammy Bishop. And there may have been alcohol involved. May God have mercy on their soles.
Why don’t you learn how to spell before you start putting other people’s business out there that doesn’t involve you and knowing all the facts first. Posting anonymously also proves to show that you have no business in this situation. People are grieving and you’re trying to be messy.
Thank you for the spelling lesson. It is hard to type when you’re crying. But, this is very much my business even though I wish otherwise. The 40 year old female that passed away was my daughter. She leaves behind three children. At this point I could care less what anyone thinks or opinions they might have about my spelling. Lifes have been changed and lifes will be changed because of this. Our lives will never be the same.
This is a deeply personal and tragic situation for family and friends. Sharing names, job titles, or discussing details is unnecessary and incredibly inappropriate. Please show some basic human decency and allow space for privacy. People are grieving and fighting to recover. If you’re not directly involved, it’s not your place to comment. Mind your business and let the family heal in peace.
Ok so you’re obviously a mouthy coward having to post anonymously. If you’re scared say you’re scared. But my question is why? What is your pay off for posting personal information that is irrelevant at this time. We are praying and have been pleading with God to keep them here with us as we have already lost so much. Why do you feel the need to post such information when you’re obviously not involved and have no idea what is actually happening at this very moment!! You are trash..your emotional intelligence is in the red… and your actual intelligence most likely can not be measured as it doesn’t exist. There are some things that are still considered socially acceptable and while we all can tell that you don’t possess any kind of moral compass… let me put it into words that you (hopefully) can sound out..shut tf up. Just stop. We are grieving you wretched and most definitely ratchet person. I’m trying not to get out of my character, but if you want to then by all means letsssss get it. Common human decency along with common sense goes a long way even though we can absolutely summarize that you didn’t grasp that either in kindergarten. Say it with your chest out if you’re going to talk about people. Stop being so scary Anonymously and SAY IT WITH YA MFKN CHEST.
Idk who is posting anonymous but apparently you don’t have your facts straight or wouldn’t hide yourself. Were you there? If you were you would know how devastated all are for those involved! Have some humility and remember karma sucks. Prayers for you as well sweetie! Thanks for yours
Commenting anonymously, people should expect ugly comments. If everyone knew you were the mother of the deceased, you would have received nothing but love, kindness, compassion and our sympathy. Out of respect for you, I will not use her name, but know she was very deeply loved by everyone who knew her, and will be missed so much. Her children are loved, and we are all hurting for them, wishing there was some way to ease their pain as well as ours. She was a beautiful, kind, funny, loving and generous bright star who will never be forgotten. I’m apologizing for all who did not know who the commenter was, because I promise you, each and every one are grieving her death and trying to find a way to navigate life without her, as are her children and your family. I hope you have the same compassion as she did and will forgive us all.
Millie,
I am so sorry for the responses you got on this forum. It is amazing to me that these people who responded are “friends” with Jess on social media because speaking to anyone like this is definitely not something she would ever do. I love you, I love your family. I am with you. I stand with you.
Yes, let God have mercy on their shoe soles. FN idiot. The circumstances are irrelevant. Everyone should know this why? Have some literal HUMAN decency and respect for those that are involved. 24 hours did not even pass before people like you want to run their mouth, and at that anonymously. What a loser.
Praying for everyone involved and for their family and friends.
Sending many prayers and lots of hugs to everyone involved and the families.
You need to quit sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong and making assumptions. These people are grieving and in pain and you thought you should put someone’s name and job title out there? This was a tragic accident hopefully God has mercy on your SOLE 🩴
Ms. Millie – my God my heart breaks for you, Jess’s babies, and your entire family. I mean breaks. I’ll never be too big to apologize when I’m in the wrong, and ma’am I sure didn’t know that you were Jess’s momma. We love everyone who was in the wreck and our hearts will continue to break and pray for everyone involved. We are no strangers to the loss of our loved ones but your her Momma and those babies grandmother. I wish I could say something to make it not hurt as bad or be as sickening, but the truth is no words could ever cover it. I know that saying accidents happen will never cover it and for that I’m forever sorry. Jess was a great friend to me and my little boy. She was one of our biggest supporters and cheerleaders when we went through something similar almost two years ago. My son’s dad passed away in a terrible way as well. And you’re so right.. it’ll never be the same in life. I wish I could fix all of it for everyone. Especially our babies, I know the hurt you feel when you look at them or hold them. It’s something I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. When I’m wrong I’ll say I’m wrong and Ms. Millie this is most definitely your business, it’s some of ours too who commented and that’s where the venom in our words came from. From a place of love for them and protection of them. I know that I don’t know you personally, but please know I haven’t stopped praying since I got the call. I’ve been praying for you all as well as the others. Please excuse my ignorance and disrespect. We’re all devastated and praying God’s grace and His peace fills you all. Your daughter was so precious to me and so are the others. I can’t apologize for loving the others but I can dang sure apologize for my previous message. I won’t stop praying.
She was my best friend and like a sister to me. We ALL loved her like family. This was a horrible tragic accident and everyone is grieving. Please continue to pray for her family and my family for peace and comfort.
The unidentified, 40 year old woman is Jessica Yvette Rivera. She is my blood sister. She was not a Liberty County resident at the time of her passing. Her life and family is located in Spring, Tx. She deserved better. The truth will come out, God & the Department of Public Safety will make sure of that.
The truth.
Y’all talking crazy in these comments but shouldn’t we be holding our police officers to a standard? If it was a civilian they would be in jail for manslaughter and dwi but because it is a cop we aren’t supposed to say anything? Maybe she shouldn’t have been driving at irresponsible speeds while drinking WITH PASSENGERS. y’all wanna have simpathy I have none to give to a grown woman made a grown woman decision. She should be held accountable for her actions I hope she is stripped of her badge and taken to jail
Question for the finger shakers, how does Crow taste?
