(July 11, 2008)—Amanda Elmore, 22, of Temple, who was critically injured in an accident on June 29 that left two other people dead, lost her fight for life Friday at Scott & White Hospital in Temple.

Xantavia Phillips, 23, whom police identified as a Fort Hood soldier, and Leslie Spear, 23, of Coppell died in the collision around 3:45 a.m. on June 29 on Highway 190 about one mile east of the Clear Creek Exit in Killeen, police said.

The two drivers were taken to Carl Darnall Army Medical Center at Fort Hood where they were both pronounced dead about 2 hours later.

Elmore was taken to Scott & White.

Phillips was westbound on Highway 190 in a 2003 Cadillac DeVille when it collided head on with Spear’s 2005 Ford Mustang, which the DPS said appeared to have been headed east in the westbound lane.

I was on my way home and I was the first one to witness the accident. I swerved out of the way, stopped, and called 911. It is very dark out there and if you are unfamiliar with the road it can be very confusing, so I don't think alcohol was the factor. My prayers are with the families who lost their loved ones.
