Speed appears to have been a possible factor in a one-vehicle motorcycle accident which killed a Marble Falls police officer early Friday, April 26, east of the city.

A Llano man was killed early Friday morning in a one-vehicle accident on Texas 71, according to a Texas Department of Public Safety report.

The accident occurred at 5:45 a.m. Friday about seven miles east of Llano. A 2006 Chevrolet Malibu P4 driven by Robin Magrath Lacey, 52, was westbound on Texas 71 when, for unknown reasons, Lacey's vehicle traveled off the roadway to the right and then he overcorrected to the left.

A head-on collision on Texas Highway 71 claimed the life of a Round Rock woman on Tuesday, Nov. 1.

Edwina Dillon Turner, a 56-year-old Round Rock woman, was pronounced dead at the scene of a collision which is reportedly still under Texas DPS investigation.

Texas DPS officials said the wreck occurred at 8:23 p.m. Tuesday evening, roughly three miles west of Horseshoe Bay, when a 2005 Ford F250 headed eastbound on the highway crossed over the center line into the westbound lane, and then swerved back to the right, striking Turner's 2014 Volkswagon PTE.

The passenger of the truck, George Anderson, 51, of Round Mountain, was transported to St. David's South Austin Medical Center with unknown injuries. There was no information immediately available on the wellness of Pedro Ortiz Hurtado, 56, also of Round Rock, the driver of the truck.  

A late night accident Thursday claimed the life of one person just west of Marble Falls.

The accident occurred when two vehicles collided on Texas Highway 71 near the Burnet and Llano county line at 11:28 p.m. Thursday, July 14, about two miles west of the intersection with U.S. Highway 281.

One man, J. Lee Rethaber, of Kingsland, was killed in the accident. It was unknown what factored into the crash.
