An 81-year old man is dead following injuries sustained during an auto-pedestrian accident on the Lady Bird Lake hike and bike trail Monday evening.
Around 5:30pm, a 1995 Hyundai Accent driven by 21-year-old Joseph Rosales was heading east on Cesar Chavez near the North Lamar Boulevard bridge when it left the roadway. His vehicle jumped the curb, went into the hike-and-bike trail area, struck a sign and then hit the two victims, an 81-year-old man and a 42-year-old woman who were on the trail.
The man suffered head injuries and the 42-year-old woman had broken bones. The man later died at an area hospital.
Rosales has been booked into the Travis County Jail and charged with felony manslaughter and failure to stop and render aid.
