Truck Driver Charged with Manslaughter in Fatal Crash

Posted:

About the same time two brothers were being laid to rest Monday, Lubbock police arrested the truck driver accused of causing the crash that killed them.

Police say 26-year-old Eric Figueroa of California ran a stop sign last Monday at the intersection of I-27 and North Loop 289.

The truck slammed into a pickup killing brothers Terry and Marvin Goree of Lubbock.

Figueroa was arrested immediately upon his release from the hospital Monday afternoon. He is now charged with two counts of manslaughter.
