GATESVILLE, Texas – A 19-year-old Gatesville man was killed early Saturday in a one-vehicle crash in Coryell County.
George Christopher Hallman was heading west – at an unsafe speed – in a 2005 Nissan Altima on Straws Mill Road when he traveled off the roadway, down an embankment and into a river, Texas DPS said.
“The Nissan landed upside down and came to final rest submerged under water on its top,” the Department of Public Safety said in a news release.
Justice of the Peace 3 James Caldwell pronounced Hallman dead at 2:02 a.m.
The investigation remains active, DPS said.
