One person was killed Friday after his vehicle was swept away by flood waters along a stretch of Bell Springs Road at Barton Creek near Dripping Springs.
Michael Brandon Hurlbut, 55, of Dripping Springs, was identified as the victim, according to authorities. Hurlbut’s body was located early May 4 along Barton Creek roughly a mile from his vehicle.
Hays County Sheriff Gary Cutler said Hurlbut made a phone call Friday to a family member before disappearing. Cutler said Hurlbut was concerned by the rapidly rising water before he went missing. Officials were initially unable to locate the missing person, later identified as Hurlbut, late Friday.
