Woman receives 8 years for manslaughter - Tyler Morning Telegraph

In July 2014, Texas Department of Public Safety spokeswoman Jean Dark said a family was heading north on U. S. Highway 259 about 1:30 a. m. , when a Ford F-350, driven by Ms. Taylor, crossed over into oncoming traffic. “The driver of the van says he tried to slow down and swerve to the left to avoid the truck,” Trooper Dark said. “However the truck swerved to the right, and the vehicles ended up colliding “. Killed in the crash were Heena Patel, 43, 5-year-old Ryera Patel and 12-year-old Trish Patel, who were sleeping in the backseat, with their safety belts unbuckled. Source: www.tylerpaper.com
