An elderly man who had been reported missing was killed in an accident early Sunday morning in Dallas.
Marshal Leon Milton, 86, of Denton, was traveling in a 2002 Ford Explorer northbound in the southbound lanes of Loop 12 around 3:30 a.m. Sunday he struck a vehicle and then another one head-on, according to police reports. Milton was transported to a Dallas hospital where he was pronounced dead.
