At least five people have been confirmed dead in Cooke County following the storms north of Dallas-Fort Worth on Saturday, May 25, 2024.
Sheriff Ray Sappington said 60 to 80 people were injured at the AP Travel Center during the storm, and that there were confirmed fatalities in a nearby community.Speaking from the site of the decimated AP Travel Center at the intersection of I-35 and Lone Oak Road between Valley View and Sanger early Sunday morning, Cooke County Sheriff Ray Sappington gave a bleak assessment of the tragic damage wrought by Saturday night's storms.
Meanwhile, dozens were injured when the storm descended upon the AP Travel Center -- home to a Shell gas station and some restaurants -- late Saturday as well. Sappington said that number totaled anywhere from 60 to 80 people, many of whom had pulled into the establishment to seek cover either in the parking lot or within the restrooms inside.
"We've had an overwhelming response from departments out of county -- from Grayson County and Denton County, and Sanger, and the different law enforcement agencies, fire department and EMS teams that showed up tonight to give us a hand and we really appreciate it.""I just think about daylight and what we're really going to find," Sappington said."And I don't think it's going to be good.
