Jacob David Dorrity Obituary, Death; – Authorities have confirmed the identity of a Lubbock resident who lost his life in a single-vehicle rollover accident early Sunday morning in Hockley County.
Jacob David Dorrity, aged 35, was declared deceased at the crash site, which was reported at 2:16 a.m. on FM 1585, approximately 0.6 miles east of FM 168, as stated by the Texas Department of Public Safety.
Preliminary investigations suggest that Dorrity was operating a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado traveling eastbound on FM 1585 when he veered into the north-side barrow ditch. The vehicle then continued into a field north of FM 1585 and subsequently rolled over. The inquiry indicated that Dorrity was ejected from the vehicle during the rollover incident.
He was pronounced dead at the scene, and investigators suspect that he was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the accident. The investigation is still ongoing, and other potential factors contributing to the crash have yet to be determined.
