FANNIN COUNTY, Tex. ― Bonham Fire Chief Bill Palya says TX-DOT plans to reenact a Christmas morning accident in Leonard involving an ambulance that killed three people to find out why the accident happened.

A Shreveport, Louisiana, woman and her twin sons were killed in the accident Christmas morning around 6:00 a.m. in the Leonard/Trenton area. Authorities tell us a Bonham ambulance, headed North on FM 981 did not see a Chevy Malibu headed North on Highway 69, and pulled out in front of it.

The Malibu hit the ambulance. The impact sent both vehicles off the road, flipping the ambulance on its side, sending the Malibu crashing through a fence, killing the driver and her twin sons.

59 year-old Pamela K. Touart, and her sons 29 year-old Cameron Wayne Boudreau and Kipp Leonard Boudreau, all of Shreveport, Louisiana, were pronounced dead at the scene.

Payla says this tragic accident has left its mark on the family of the deceased and the ambulance driver and passenger.

"It’s devastating not just to the men involved and not just to the family, but to this department as well the men here are grieving because they feel it could have been them," Payla says.

Payla says both men in the ambulance suffered minor injuries and that they are offering critical stress debriefing for both firefighters.

TX-DOT will reenact the accident in the next two weeks.
