Troopers say man distracted by sign causes fatal wreck in Conroe

(1/03/07 - KTRK/CONROE, TX) (KTRK) -- Troopers say a sign for low gas prices may have resulted in a deadly crash.

State troopers say they have not ticketed the woman's husband who caused the crash.

Troopers say Johnny Hohensee, 75, made a quick left turn in his Ford Escort towards the gas station. Another car heading the opposite direction crashed into the Escort, killing Linda Hohensee, 64.

"The driver stated that he was distracted with the sign at the gas station on the quick stop," said Trooper Chris Perkins with the Department of Public Safety.

No one else suffered life-threatening injuries.
