One Vehicle Fatality Crash on US-380

FRISCO, TX – The Frisco Police Department responded to US-380 and Red Bud Drive on Sunday, July 11, at 10:39 a.m. after passing motorists advised that a vehicle had exited the roadway, flipped multiple times, and came to rest on its side. Responding officers located the vehicle in the backyard of a residence on the south side of US-380 in the Red Bud Estates subdivision. Paramedics removed the driver from the vehicle and transported him to Centennial Medical Center in Frisco, where he was later pronounced dead.

Accident investigators with the Frisco Police Department are continuing their investigation into the single vehicle crash that resulted in the death of the driver, 33-year-old Jason Donahew of McKinney, Texas. Investigators believe that Donahew was traveling westbound on US-380 when his vehicle crossed the center median and ultimately drove off the eastbound shoulder of the highway and into the backyard of a private residence. The vehicle struck numerous pieces of landscaping and shrubbery, which ultimately caused the vehicle to flip repeatedly. Donahew is believed to have been wearing his seatbelt at the time of the collision. There were no other passengers in Donahew’s vehicle at the time of the crash.
