(October 9, 2008)—Round Rock police have arrested a man in connection with a hit-and-run accident that resulted in the death of a motorcyclist.
Tuesday evening charged a man suspected as having caused, then fled from, a collision on the night of September 25 in which motorcyclist Victor Luna was fatally injured.
Lyle Larue Earl, 25, of Round Rock was arrested and charged with Accident involving personal injury or death, a third-degree felony. Earl's bond was set at $50,000.
During the investigation, Round Rock Police sought the public's help to locate the car involved in the wreck and identify its driver.
Acting on an anonymous tip late Tuesday afternoon, detectives located the vehicle concealed in a garage about a mile from the wreck scene.
Police seized a white 2004 Chevrolet Impala that was locked in the garage. The car's right side had considerable damage that linked it to the wreck with Luna's motorcycle.
Earl was taken into custody and transferred to the Williamson County Jail late Tuesday night.
The case remains under investigation.
