Dead at the scene were the driver, Zachary David Hoy of Spring, Texas(DOB 12-28-1984), and passenger Amy Elysee Melnick, age 22 of Waller, Texas(DOB 08-03-1983).
Police said Hoy, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was ejected from the vehicle on impact. Melnick, a Texas State University student, was later found strapped in the passenger seat of the burned out vehicle.
San Marcos Police Sgt. Daniel Misiaszek said that around 12:28 a.m., Texas Department of Public Safety trooper Fernando Gonzalez saw Hoy's vehicle traveling east at a high rate of speed on Aquarena Springs Drive toward I-35.
Moments later Gonzalez saw flames in the 1700 block of Aqarena Springs Drive and reported the fire to the San Marcos police.
Crash investigators said that the Tahoe was traveling between 75-80 miles per hour when it clipped the back rear left of a Honda Civic driven by Allison Williams, 21, of Burleson, Texas, at the intersection of Aquarena Springs Drive and the east access road of I-35.
