MIDLAND A 24-year-old security guard from Midland was killed early Wednesday after his truck rolled over on State Highway 191 just west of Midland, Department of Public Safety communications operator Gilbert Villarreal said.

Scott Mark Wanamaker, a security guard with the Transportation Security Administration, was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash when his eastbound 2003 Ford Ranger rolled into the shoulder at 1:40 a.m. Wednesday.

According to a report Villarreal read from DPS Trooper Beau Martinez, Wanamaker began drifting into the center lane west of State Highway 158. He overcorrected and began rolling.

Wanamaker was not wearing a seatbelt, Villarreal said. The report did not state whether Wanamaker's body remained in Ford.


He was probably on his way home from his shift at the airport. Too bad he wasn't wearing a seatbelt.

I agree, I was wearing one before it was law, even when I was 17 and 18 and it wasn't "cool" to wear them.

I smacked my chin on the top of a steering wheel during a crash in 1978. Scarred it good. Ever since, I've worn a seat belt. Actually saved me in 1985 when a concrete mixer ran a stop sign and broadsided me. Totalled my car.

{thumbsup} As was I..... back when cars only had two seatbelts in the front, and two in the back, me, my brother and sister would always argue over which one of us was goig to be buckled alone. Our parents made two of us buckle together in the other.... it got to be a race to the car when all five of us were going somewhere. {silly} {silly}

I had this dumb...there was this dumb girl whose house I used to visit, and she never wore her freaking seatbelt. Claimed that she'd get trapped in the car in a wreck. Didn't care about the statistics or physics or anything...she just got all freaky about it.

I worked with one ambulancer group that ran Type IIs and had the official policy of always belting, but it seemed to me that a lot of people didn't bother when a supervisor wasn't around. Kinda dumb.

That almost sounds like falling asleep at the wheel..

I guess click it or ticket month missed one... That trooper had probably just finished writing seatbelt violations to people wearing their seatbelts when he got the call.

At least the paper had the job title right. (federal agent right?) - Couldn't have been too bright, if he didn't wear his seat belt.
