A 2009 Hays High School graduate was killed in a one-vehicle crash along RM 967 near Driftwood sometime early Wednesday morning, authorities say.
Adrian Nicholas Acosta, of Manchaca, was driving eastbound when his 2003 Nissan sedan left the roadway and struck a telephone pole. He was pronounced dead at the scene around 7 a.m., a Department of Public Safety official said.
Excessive speed was determined to be a factor in the crash, which occurred about a mile south of FM 1826, the official said.
Justice of the Peace Precinct 4 Terry Kyle, who reported to the scene, believed that Acosta was living with his grandparents in Buda.
