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.

What Our Clients Say

I came to Andrew after being rear ended in my car. This type of accident has happen to me ad nauseam since I've lived in Austin. It has caused serious problems for me. Usually i'm offered a paltry offering from the other person's insurance company. I decided to try using a lawyer this time around. Andrew took the case even though he thought that we might not get much from the insurance company, since I have been injured from too many of these accidents. He thought I deserved representation. I have been turned down by attorneys before. We got a nice settlement from the insurance company. It was quick and painless. Thank you Andrew.
