Charlotte man killed in Texas crash

A Charlotte man died after a crash in Texas involving a driver who was still wearing a hospital bracelet at the time.

Austin police charged the woman with intoxicated manslaughter in the Monday night accident that killed 61-year-old Dik Van Meerten as he waited for a bus.

Witnesses say the driver hit several cars, slammed into the bus stop and kept going, eventually wedging her car between two poles.

The driver told police she'd been treated for fainting at the hospital, where she was given morphine and Percocet.
