Grayson Oie died in car accident, Mount Olivet Lutheran Church member

Graylan Spring, a Vandegrift High School graduate and wide receiver on the Vipers football team, died from injuries sustained in a collision with an 18-wheeler Friday near Corrigan.

The Vandegrift High School football team’s Twitter account tweeted Sunday afternoon, honoring Spring and saying he was “a friend to everyone.”

Graylan, we love you,” the tweet begins. “Always smiling, a friend to everyone, truly inspiring to anyone that knew you. Fierce competitor at all times. There is no one else like you. You will be missed forever and we will always keep you in our heart. Rest in Peace, Gray.”

Spring was a freshman on the Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks football team and graduated from Vandegrift in 2022.

According to a report by the Lufkin Daily News, Spring was a passenger in a Nissan Versa driven by Micah McAfoose, a former baseball player for the Lumberjacks, when the car collided with the trailer of the 18-wheeler while traveling on Highway 58 north of Corrigan.

A press release from the Corrigan Police Department said the 18-wheeler turned left onto the highway from Plant Road and into the path of the Nissan. After the car hit the trailer, it lodged underneath the trailer and became stuck.
