On March 29, 2009 58-year-old Michael Dodge of Orange, TX was killed when he was struck by a car while changing a tire on the side of the road. The accident occurred at approximately 5:00 p.m. on Highway 73 in Groves, TX as Dodge was working to change a tire on his Ford Expedition SUV. According to authorities, Dodge was as far off of the roadway as could be expected, and was in what should have been a reasonably safe area. For reasons not yet determined, the driver of a Geo Prism struck Dodge's person and then crashed into his Expedition, killing them both. 25-year-old Kayla Marie Borsuk, a passenger in the Geo, suffered severe injuries in the accident as well.
