Injuries Reported in Round Rock DUI Accident on Interstate 35
ROUND ROCK, TX (August 17, 2023) – Last week, 6-year-old Willow Walker suffered injuries in a horrific car crash on Interstate 35 in Round Rock.
The crash involving a drunk driver occurred on Interstate 35 in Round Rock on August 6th.
According to reports, a truck traveling at a high speed crashed into their car, injuring Caitlin Carpenter’s 6-year-old daughter.
“There was nothing I could do,” she revealed. “I was stopped, and, obviously the 18-wheeler was in front of us; there was nowhere for me to go, and he just ran directly into us.”
“What I saw, how I saw my baby in that backseat, I thought that my baby was dead,” the mother said. “It was horrific seeing what I saw.”
Round Rock Police confirmed that the driver of the truck was under the influence of alcohol.
Then, Willow suffered serious injuries in the crash and is still in critical condition at Dell Children’s Hospital.
“One is way too many, and this is just one that’s made the news,” revealed Sgt. Angelo Marmarinos of the Round Round Rock Police Department DWU unit. “The reality is more people are getting hurt in accidents under the influence of some type of alcohol or drug.”
Then, a GoFundMe page for Willow was initiated which raised thousands of dollars and is now at nearly $151,000.
At this time, the circumstances that led to the crash remained unclear. Once additional details become available, the public will be notified.
Due to the limited information available, the authorities continued to investigate the crash.
