Bastrop, Tx–A two-vehicle crash May 27 at the intersection of Texas 71 and Tucker Hill Lane west of Bastrop claimed the life of a 24-year-old woman whose last known address was in Austin. A Bastrop woman and her two-year-old daughter apparently escaped serious injury.
Dead at the scene shortly after 7 p.m. Wednesday was Olana MacArthur who was driving a silver Escort which crossed into the west-bound lane of Texas 71 where it was struck by a Suburban driven by Lauren Harris of Bastrop, according to a Texas Department of Public Safety report. The DPS report suggested that MacArthur ran a stop sign on Tucker Hill Lane before the collision.
Harris and her daughter were taken to an area hospital where they were treated and released, according to the DPS report. Both drivers and the child were wearing seat belts, a DPS spokesman said.
Drugs were found in the Escort, but investigators are awaiting toxicology reports on whether MacArthur might have been intoxicated.
