Kerrville, Texas (November 9, 2021) – A 17-year-old Tivy High School student was killed, and two others were injured Thursday evening in a two-vehicle crash in Kerrville, according to the authorities.

The fatal crash happened on November 4, on Interstate Highway 10.

Authorities said a 2002 Ford F-250 with four people inside was traveling eastbound at a high rate of speed when it took quick evasive action to the left to avoid hitting a 2022 Kia K5.

The Ford ended up hitting the Kia before veering across the center median and going into a ravine, causing it to roll over several times.

David Palestrant, who was a passenger in the Ford, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Two other passengers were taken to University Hospital for treatment. The Ford driver, Jonah Kai Stone, 19, of Kerrville, was uninjured in the crash. He was arrested and charged with intoxication manslaughter and was being held in the Kerr County Jail in lieu of a $15,000 bond.

The Kia driver, Antonio Gonzales, Jr, 33, of San Antonio, was uninjured in the crash.

The crash remains under investigation.
