Driver charged in wreck that killed 2 Hood GIs

GEORGETOWN, Texas — Investigators say a driver has been charged in an alcohol-related wreck that claimed the lives of two Fort Hood soldiers.

The Williamson County Sheriff's Office says Ida Marie Fruster of Killeen was jailed Thursday on two counts of intoxication manslaughter with a vehicle. Bond was $60,000 for Fruster. Online jail records did not list an attorney for her.

The Austin American-Statesman reports the one-vehicle accident happened Feb. 4 in Florence. The car went off a curve and hit a tree.

The Department of Public Safety says one passenger, Spc. Joshua Winn of Shreveport, La., was dead at the scene. Another passenger, Spc. Keandre Hall of Naperville, Ill., died Feb. 15 at a hospital from injuries suffered in the crash.

Fruster was charged Feb. 17.
