Two Die in Austin SUV Rollover Accident

Austin Police Officers responded to a single-vehicle crash in the 10200 block of Dessau Rd to assist a driver of a red Jeep Wrangler that was traveling southbound on Dessau Rd. Riding with five other Hispanic male occupants, the driver of the Jeep lost control, of the vehicle, crossed the center median, rolled over across the north bound lanes of Dessau Rd., and came to rest in the grass on the east side of Dessau Rd.
