A man died Monday afternoon in Williamson County after a vehicle crossed into incoming traffic and collided with a pickup in which he was riding, a Texas Department of Public Safety official said.
Eric Aguillar, 42, of Austin, a passenger in Raymond Dale Griffith’s pickup died at the scene when Douglas Fabian Tarrance, 20, of Killeen tried to pass a northbound tractor-trailer that had stopped to turn left.
Tarrance drove into oncoming traffic and hit Griffith’s pickup truck.
Griffith was treated for injuries that were not life-threatening while Tarrance was taken to Scott and White Memorial Hospital in Temple in critical condition.
Both Tarrance and Aguillar were not wearing their seat belts. A sad lesson in the importance of buckling up.
Williamson County Man Sentenced for Sixth DWI
Oscar Barbosa, 51, of Williamson County was sentenced to 33 years in prison after pleading guilty to his sixth driving-while-intoxicated conviction on Monday.
He had been arrested in September because he was weaving on U.S. 183 in Liberty Hill, according to Williamson County District Attorney John Bradley. A breath test found that Mr. Barbosa had more than two times the legal limit of alcohol for driving in his system.
