A tragic single-vehicle crash in Lampasas County has resulted in the death of a 21-year-old individual, as reported by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS). The victim, identified as 21-year-old Paulina Carbajal Angel from Lampasas, Texas, was traveling northbound on CR 3040 around 7:29 a.m. on March 25 when the incident occurred. According to DPS officials, Angel was driving at a high rate of speed when she failed to stop at a T-intersection. This failure to stop led to the vehicle “catapulting over the roadway” before colliding with a fence line and ultimately striking a tree.
Angel was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash and was ejected from the vehicle. Tragically, she succumbed to her injuries on the scene. DPS has stated that the investigation into the crash remains active and open, with next of kin already notified of the devastating loss.
