18-year-old Corey Burris Byrnes, a backseat passenger, has died, and four others were injured after a crash on East Olmos Drive early Monday morning. The vehicle appeared to have lost control while coming off a curve causing it to jump the curb and strike a lightpole before slamming into a concrete bridge pillar that supports Highway 281. Three of the people in the car, including the driver, sustained critical injuries while one other passenger suffered minor injuries. Alcohol does not appear to be a factor and the crash is still under investigation.
