Texas Department of Public Safety troopers are looking for a run-a-way driver who may have caused a car accident that killed a 5-year-old Texas girl.
Lily Bunker, a vivacious, beautiful little girl, died five days before Halloween on her way to school. She was in the kindergarten at Prairie Lea schools in Caldwell County.
Witnesses say the driver of an 18-wheeler hauling gravel attempted to switch lanes just before approaching FM 1977. The driver clipped a Mercedes in the next lane. It sent that Mercedes into oncoming traffic. It struck the back of Bunker’s Camero where Lily and her 7-year-old brother Jamie were sitting.
The truck driver who caused the accident, never stopped.
DPS Troopers describe the gravel truck as a white or gray 18-wheeler with bottom- or rear-dumping capability. The truck driver could face the felony charge of failure to stop and render aid. If you can help solve this case, call DPS at 512-398-4333.
