Jury selection begins Monday, March 19, for the trial of Charles N. Linzey in the 2016 traffic collision that led to the death of Nancy Parrish, 77, a former Burnet County administrative assistant.

Parrish was pronounced dead at the scene of the collision on Oct. 18, 2016 on US 281, just past the entrance to Delaware Springs Golf Course. Michael Peyton, traveling with Linzey in an F-150 pickup, was transported by AirEvac with serious injuries.

Parrish's granddaughter, Michelle Light, then 34, was assessed at the time to be less seriously injured. She was the driver of the Chevy Tahoe in which the two were traveling.

Linzey, 56 of Copperas Cove, is facing three second degree felony charges—Intoxication Assault with a Vechicle, Aggrivated Assault Causing Serious Bodily Injury and Aggravated Assault with a Deadley Weapon. The trial will be heard before 33rd District Judge J. Allan Garrett in the Burnet County Courthouse Annex, 1701 East Polk Street, Burnet.
