70-Year-Old Robert Boles Dies in Horrific Crash on FM 842 [Moffett, TX]

Moffett, TX (April 25, 2025) – 70-year-old Robert Boles died Thursday morning after a horrific crash on FM 842.

According to authorities, the fatal incident happened around 6:54 a.m. on FM 842.

Reports say that authorities arrested Jorge Urbina Lopez after he allegedly caused the fatal crash that killed 70-year-old Boles.

The Angelina County Sheriff’s Office responded to a crash.

Authorities say that a pickup truck veered off the road, hit a tree, and then plowed completely through Boles’ home, resulting in his death. The driver fled the scene.

DPS troopers and a Texas Ranger launched an investigation while other officers tracked the damaged vehicle north along FM 842.

They found a heavily damaged Chevrolet pickup at a home on Wilkerson Road, hidden under a tarp and behind another vehicle.

Debris from the crash scene and mail belonging to Boles lay near the truck.

Investigators identified Lopez, a resident of the Wilkerson Road address, as the driver. Surveillance footage from a nearby store captured him and the pickup just five minutes before the crash.

After securing a search warrant, officers searched the Wilkerson Road home but did not find Lopez. They later located him hiding under a bed at another home on FM 842. After resisting arrest briefly, officers took him into custody at 12:45 p.m.

Lopez had over a dozen outstanding traffic warrants and multiple prior arrests. Authorities transported him to the Angelina County Jail. He faces pending felony charges for fleeing the scene of a fatal crash. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is also reviewing his immigration status, as he had previously been deported.
