Family rallies for Round Mountain teen

by Alexandria Randolph

Friends and family members are rallying around a Round Mountain teen who was critically injured in an accident on US 281 last week.

Kelsey Spillman, 18, remains in an Austin area hospital after being injured in a vehicle accident on Friday, Aug. 29, when rainy conditions are being blamed for the hydroplaning that led to the crash.

Friends of Spillman are having a garage sale this Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 20-21, at 616 Pecan Lane in Cottonwood Shores starting at 8 a.m. All proceeds are going into a “Kelsey Spillman” benefit account at the American Bank of Texas in Marble Falls.

Donations can be sent directly to the account at American Bank C/O Lisa Martz - 418 Main Street/PO Box 888, Marble Falls TX 78654.

The group is also taking garage sale donations and will pick up items. To donate items, contact Kimberlee Kohutek at 214-236-3813.
