Special Texas Ranger Lee Franklin was responding to a call that a woman had been assaulted in Conroe in Montgomery County when his automobile left the roadway and collided with a telephone pole. Franklin was taken to the hospital with a broken leg, ribs and other injuries. He was reported to be doing well but suddenly died four days later.
