passenger in collided with a boat trailer that had come loose on State Highway 198,
according to a report from Cpl. James Martin of the Department of Public Safety.
Milliken, of Malakoff, was listed in fair condition Tuesday in the intensive care unit of
East Texas Medical Center-Tyler.
Sue Milliken Lathrop of Malakoff, 63, was driving the 2005 Dodge Caravan north on SH 198
across the bridge when a truck hauling a pontoon boat in the opposite direction lost
