At 5:15 a.m., David Paul Vanscoy was struck by two vehicles while trying to cross the US 281 in the 3100 block in the curve of the roadway near Lowes.

Marble Falls Police Capt. Glenn Hanson said Vanscoy walking from the Motel 6 on the east side of the highway, where he was staying, to the Kwik Chek in the 1000 block of Rural Road 1431, just west of the US 281 intersection, where he worked as a manager.

“He was in the outside southbound lane when he was hit,” Hanson said.

A tan, late 90s model Chevrolet pickup truck struck Vanscoy first, and then a black 2000s model Ford SUV struck him as well. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
