A man involved in a fatal car accident Friday was arrested late last week by the Texas Department of Public Safety for intoxication manslaughter, said a spokesman for the agency.
Gustavo Cervantes, 36, of Wichita Falls, was driving a 2002 Dodge Ram eastbound in the westbound passing lane of Interstate 20 at 2:40 a.m. Friday, said Sparky Dean, DPS spokesman. His vehicle collided nine miles west of Sweetwater with a vehicle driven by Cory Lynn Carlile, 41, of Rowlett.
Carlile was pronounced dead at the scene.
Cervantes was taken to Hendrick Medical Center on Friday with "incapacitating injuries" but was released later that day; afterward he was arrested and charged, Dean said.
Cervantes posted a bond of $20,000 and was released from the Nolan County Jail.
