CopyA 17-year-old died in a car crash Sunday around 2:30 a.m. in southern Travis County near Manchaca, officials say.
Jon Travis Chin, a senior at Bowie High School, was driving north on Twin Creek Road at the intersection with Twin Creek Drive, where the Brown Cemetery is located, when he lost control of his 2001 Toyota sedan and it skidded into a tree, a Texas Department of Public Safety spokesperson said.
Chin, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was pronounced dead at the scene, the spokesman said.
Preliminary findings showed that excessive speed may have been a factor in the crash but the spokesperson was unsure if alcohol was involved.
