A Llano County driver was killed in an accident late Feb. 24 after his vehicle struck a deer on the road and careened into a tree.
According to a Texas Department of Public Safety report, the victim, identified as 25-year-old Isaiah Lee Barragan, and his passenger were traveling on a remote stretch of RR 2241 in rural Llano County between Llano and Bluffton at around 11 p.m. Monday night when his Ford Escape collided with a deer. After the impact, the vehicle veered off of the road and hit a tree.
Barragan was pronounced dead at the scene. His passenger, fiancée Brailee Garret, was sent to an area hospital for treatment of “incapacitating” injuries. The couple are reportedly Tow residents.
