Timothy Boykin, 46, Killed in Moped Crash on Luther Lane and Red River Street in Central Austin
Central Austin, Texas (February 15, 2018) – The man who died Friday after he was hit by a car has been identified as Timothy Boykin, 46, according to the authorities.
Boykin was traveling north on his moped when he was struck by a Jeep, driven by 21-year-old Olivia Gruwell, at the Luther Lane and Red River Street in Central Austin at about 3 a.m. Friday, February 9.
Police said Gruwell was also driving her Jeep northbound on Red River Street when she reportedly hit the moped from behind.
Police said Boykin succumbed to injuries and was pronounced dead at about 3:14 a.m.
Gruwell was not at the crash scene when officers arrived. Debris from the crash and trail marks led the police to a home at East 37th Street, just a few blocks from the crash scene where they found Gruwell’s Jeep with blood splatter on the front.
Police said Gruwell admitted having taken six to nine alcoholic drinks at various bars in Austin before driving home. She was later arrested.
No further information regarding the crash was immediately provided.
