According to the Texas Department of Public Safety report, Clayton Weishuhn, was driving a 2001 Dodge 2500 pickup northbound on Mikulik Road 4.3 miles northwest of San Angelo at 7:05 p.m. when “for an unknown reason the driver drifted into the east ditch, over-corrected skidding across the roadway into the west ditch, and into a dirt field.”

The vehicle then “began to roll over to the right and came to rest upright, facing south,” the report stated. “The driver was ejected from the vehicle during the crash.”
The posted speed limit is 60 mph and Weishuhn was not wearing a seatbelt. The conditions were clear/cloudy and road conditions were dry. No other vehicles were involved and there was only one occupant of the pickup.

Weishuhn played linebacker for five seasons for the New England Patriots and the Green Bay Packers. He spent four years playing college football at Angelo State University (1978-1981), and was selected as the Lonestar Conference Lineman of the Year in both 1980 and 1981.
In the first week of the 1984 season, while playing for the New England Patriots, he suffered a severe knee injury which rendered him unable to play for the rest of the 1984 season and all of the 1985 season.
Weishuhn returned for the 1986 season, yet within four games, suffered both a hamstring and groin injury, again causing him to miss the remainder of the team’s games.
Weishuhn then moved to the Green Bay Packers, where he played in nine games for the 1987 season before ending his football career.
