SAN ANGELO, TX— The man who allegedly caused the crash that killed a Grape Creek man over Mother’s Day Weekend has been indicted.

What this article doesn’t mention is that there was another vehicle involved that was turning into the store that claimed they never saw the four wheelers headlights and had it not been the careless driving of the 21 yr old driver that was never tested for intoxication or under the influence and law enforcement solely taking the word of this kid from Big Springs in grape creek at 2:30 in the morning then the driver of that four wheeler would have never lost his best friend the passenger on that four wheeler!
