Central TexasAt around 12:30 a.m. New Year's Day, 29-year-old Ruben Trevino Jr. was driving northwest on FM 621 (Staples Road) near the CR 266 intersection when he went around a curve and struck first a sign, then a power box and a light pole. The car rolled and ejected three of its occupants. Trevino was pronounced dead at the scene, and his three passengers, Victoria DeLeon, Lorena Hernandez, and Celina Burns, were transported to University Medical Center Brackenridge in Austin with serious injuries. Speed was apparently a factor, and no on in the car was wearing a seat belt.
