A 22-year-old woman from Texas has been apprehended after she reportedly crashed into an already-overturned vehicle while under the influence, resulting in the deaths of three individuals on the spot. Among those killed was a person who had stopped to assist the occupants of the overturned car. Kearra Thomas was arrested on Sunday and faces manslaughter charges linked to one of the fatalities, as officials reported.

The victims included Agustin Guillen, 38, Quinn Stegall, 21, and Maximo Ramirez, 49.

The probable cause affidavit indicates that officers from the Round Rock Police Department, alongside emergency medical teams, were dispatched at around 2:24 a.m. on June 29, 2025, in response to a “major vehicle collision” on the 1100 block of North Interstate 35. Prior to the officers’ arrival, police were informed of “multiple obvious deaths on scene.”

When the police reached the site, the affiant observed that the street was “well-lit, with all properly functioning and bright streetlights.” According to police, a blue Ford driven by Thomas had struck a silver Honda that was overturned and resting on its roof, with an “obvious fatality of the passenger” still within the car.

Police made contact with Thomas at the scene and said they “detected the odor of an alcoholic beverage” coming from her and her boyfriend, who was in the passenger seat at the time of the crash. Thomas allegedly said she was driving northbound on the interstate when the car in front of her came to an “abrupt stop.” She then veered into the left lane and saw the silver Honda already overturned, colliding with it “head on.”

Thomas, who police described as “nonchalant and sedated,” allegedly stated that she was driving the car back to Temple after leaving a restaurant, but “did not know the name or the location of the restaurant.” She claimed to have drunk water while at the restaurant, but confirmed she had consumed alcohol before that.

“Yes…a little Buzzball…they”re called Big Sipz,” she allegedly responded.  Police said a standard “Big Sipz” canned cocktail is 200 ml and 16% alcohol by volume.

Thomas said she only had one cocktail at around midnight and was unsure of the flavor, but noted that it was purple. She also allegedly confirmed that she had smoked marijuana earlier that evening.

Police took note of Thomas’ response when asked how she felt at that moment, “given the situation she [was] in.”

“The Defendant smiled and said ‘I don’t know. I’ve seen things I’ve never seen before,'” the affidavit states. “I’m not really sure how to feel…I’m just thankful to be alive.”

Following a field sobriety test, Thomas took a breath test that showed she had a blood alcohol concentration of .103, well over the legal limit for driving in Texas of .08, police said. Thomas was taken into custody and transported to the Williamson County Jail.

Thomas is currently being held in lieu of $300,000 bond. She is scheduled to appear in court again on Aug. 20, records show.

Authorities have not yet released any details about the initial crash that caused the Toyota to overturn.

Maximo Ramirez was the victim who had stopped his car to help the other two victims. In a statement to Austin CBS affiliate KEYE, his sister, Mari Ramirez, said his attempt to rescue others shows just the kind of selfless person he was.

“My brother was very simple and had a kind heart,” she told the station. “He was a medical assistant, hence the reason he got out of his car to help someone else. He was always doing good. He would give the shirt off his back to help someone else.”
