Reports coming out of Austin, Texas state that Eleanor Bailey Lane-Brown and Ancieto Ocamposoto were involved in a fatal car accident due to drunk driving. According to law enforcement, the accident occurred at about 3:30 AM at the intersection between East Parmer Lane and Dessau Road. Police believe that the accident happened when the driver of an SUV, Herman Choc, collided with another car head-on when he was driving in the wrong direction on the road. This collision caused Choc’s vehicle to flip over, after which another car collided with it. Eleanor Lane-Brown, 23, was a passenger in the car that Choc collided with head-on. She died from the injuries she sustained in the accident. The driver was taken to the hospital with critical injuries. Two of Choc’s passengers were also injured-one of them has a possible spinal injury and the other, Ancieto Ocamposoto, died from his injuries. Choc was not injured and when found at the scene of the incident, is reported to have had above the legal blood alcohol level limit. Choc will be charged with intoxication manslaughter.

We urge those who may have experienced similar situations to contact a personal injury attorney, who may be able to explain to them their rights and options, especially if the case could trigger a wrongful death claim.
