Suspect
wanted in
death of 3-
year-old
ROUND MOUNTAIN (AP) -
Authorities said they were looking
for an apologetic driver who ran
over a 3-year-old girl and drove
away after telling the girl's father
that he was drunk and would go
for help.
The driver never returned. The
girl, Ivry Sharp, died Tuesday at
Austin's Brackenridge Hospital.
“He said, T'm sorry. I'm
drunk. I'll go get help. I've been
arguing with my wife,'" said the
girl's father, Jeff Sharp. The 29-
year-old Round Mountain man
was also hit by the van, but he was
not seriously injured.
Department of Public Safety
trooper Duane Zurovec said the
case was being investigated as a
hit-and-run accident.
A search was launched for the
brown van and its driver after the
accident, which occurred Monday
night on U.S. 281 in Round Moun
tain, about three miles south of the
Burnet-Bianco county line,
Zurovec said.
Sharp said he and his daughter
were attempting to hitchhike
when the van came along. They
wanted to make the 25-mile trip to
Ivry's grandparents' home in Bur
net, where the child's mother was
baby-sitting.
The girl was standing with
Sharp about five feet from the
road's edge when the northbound
van swerved toward them, he
said. The van swerved a second
time and the passenger side
clipped Sharp's left shoulder. The
force knocked the child under the
truck's rear wheels.
The van went about 200 yards
farther, then stopped. The driver
got out and walked back. He apol
ogized, saying he was drunk, and
hurried away. Sharp said he can
only hope that someone will turn
in the driver who struck and killed
his daughter.
Commuter plane lost over S.E. Texas
Witnesses claim to see fire,
hear explosion before crash
EAGLE LAKE (AP) - A
Continental Express commuter
plane crashed Wednesday after a
fiery explosion blew off a wing,
according to witnesses. All 14
people aboard were killed,
authorities said.
The twin-engine plane crashed
during a flight from Laredo to
Houston, spewing wreckage over
a four-mile stretch of southeast
Texas farmland.
The late morning crash
occurred about 60 miles west of
Houston, killing the occupants of
Flight 2574, said Mike Cox, a state
Department of Public Safety
spokesman.
The airline said the plane, an
Embraer-120, carried 11
passengers, two pilots and a flight
attendant. The victims' names
were not immediately released,
and Continental said it would
likely be Thursday before a list
was ready.
Continental President Stephen
Kolski said two of the passengers
were bound for Houston, with the
other nine continuing to other
destinations. The crew was based
in Houston, he said.
The Brazilian-made E-120, also
known as the Brasilia, can carry
up to 30 passengers in addition to
its three-person crew. It is the
same as one involved in an April
crash near Brunswick, Ga., that
killed former Sen. John Tower,
astronaut Manley “Sonny" Carter
Jr. and 21 others.
Witnesses to Wednesday's
crash said they heard explosions
and saw a fireball, but Kolski
labeled explosion claims
“unconfirmed."
The FBI was joining the crash
investigation, but spokesman
Charles Kearney would not say
why.
“I was in the field about two
miles from where it landed," said
Charlie Labay, 76, a rice farmer. “I
heard a loud explosion. My son
said, 'Look, daddy, there's a ball
of fire!'
“It was just spinning and just
coming straight down."
Steven Mahalitc, a resident of
nearby Mathews, said he heard an
explosion from his office two
miles away. His brother, who was
working in a nearby field, said he
looked up and saw a ball of fire
and only later realized it was a
plane.
Cary Labay said the plane
“was going round and round. The
left-hand wing was off of it, was
blown off. It was on fire."
Vance Duncan, whose family
owns the ranch where debris
landed, said: “It was still burning
when I got there. The fire truck
was already there trying to put
the fire out. It's not £upretty
sight."
Darius Brisco, a 41-year-old
volunteer ambulance driver who
was at the crash site, said he saw
charred bodies within the plane's
wreckage and two bodies about 20
feet outside the wreckage.
A physician from Eagle Lake
Hospital went to the scene, but
there were no identifiable remains
to be taken to the hospital, said
the hospital's administrator, Jim
Buckner.
The burned-out wreckage of
the plane came to rest in the
middle of a cornfield. While the
nose appeared almost unscathed.
the roof and sides were gone,
leaving the cabin open to the sky.
Debris was scattered over a
four-mile area, Cox said. A piece
of the tail was found in the nearby
Colorado River, Cox said. An
engine was near the river.
Dr. Jose Ugarte, an FAA
official on the scene, speculated
that the passengers died on
impact. Rescue workers had
removed the bodies by mid
afternoon Wednesday. They were
being taken to the Harris County
Morgue in Houston, Ugarte said.
In a Houston news conference.
Continental's Kolski said the
31/2-year-old aircraft, which had
logged 7,229 hours, had
experienced no previous
mechanical problems and had last
been inspected in November and
was scheduled for another
checkup in March.
The National Weather Service
in Houston reported the 10 a.m.
weather conditions for the area
showed "thin, scattered clouds at
25,000 feet" with "no restrictions
to the visibility." The temperature
was 81.
A National Transportation
Safety Board investigating team
headed to the crash site, about
four miles south of Eagle Lake .
