A man was charged with intoxication assault after he failed to yield to another vehicle and crashed his van carrying six people, including three children. Eric Carreon, 28, remained jailed Sunday on a combined $50,000 bail for two counts of intoxication assault, according to county records. The crash occurred Thursday when Carreon attempted to make a turn from Southeast Military Drive onto Curtis Street, failing to yield to another vehicle that was westbound, according to reports. The second vehicle hit the van. As emergency crews extracted people from the van, a child’s car seat, a cooler and more than a dozen beer cans were spread across the roadway. The children inside the van and the two occupants inside the second vehicle were taken to hospitals. Their conditions weren’t immediately known, but officers didn’t expect their injuries to be life-threatening.

A 51-year-old man has been charged with intoxication manslaughter after allegedly hitting and killing a woman with his pickup truck. Port Isabel police arrested Alejandro Bernal Petricioli following a Tuesday night hit-and-run accident. Investigators told Action 4 News that 44-year-old pedestrian Reyna Hernandez Garcia was killed on the 500 block of U.S. Highway 100 around 9 p.m. Tuesday. Witnesses told police that Petricioli was driving a grey Ford 150 truck and fled the scene of the fatal accident. Police located the truck at a Stripes gas station and arrested Petricioli under a felony failure to stop and render aid charge. Cameron County jail records show that those charges were later upgraded to intoxication manslaughter. Investigators told Action 4 News that blood test results are pending but they believe that alcohol played a role in the accident. Public records show that Petricioli had previously served probation in Texas for a 2004 DWI charge. Investigators said Petricioli is from Mexico City but has a Texas driver’s license listing a Port Isabel address.
Killeen Police are investigating a fatal crash that occurred just before 3 a.m. in the 11000 block of South Texas 195 today. Officers responded to a report of a Jeep traveling north in the southbound lane of traffic on 195. As they were enroute, another call was received at approximately 2:54 a.m. advising there had been a crash. The preliminary investigation revealed that a 26-year-old Killeen man was driving a 2003 Jeep Wrangler north in the southbound lane of traffic. The Jeep swerved to miss a vehicle that was traveling south. When the driver swerved to avoid that vehicle, the Jeep spun and struck the front of a 1993 Buick Regal that was behind the other vehicle. The Jeep then rolled and burst into flames. The Buick was occupied by a 38-year-old man from Austin and two women. The man and a 30-year-old woman from Georgetown who was seated in the rear of the Buick were taken to Scott and White Memorial Hospital with non life-threatening injuries. The Buick’s front-seat passenger, 28-year-old Beverly Leeann Baker of Round Rock, was pronounced dead by Justice of the Peace Bill Cooke at 3:30 a.m.
