Austin, TX — September 7, 2024, a teenager was injured due to a car accident at around 12:26 a.m. along U.S. Highway 183.
According to officials, the accident took place along the southbound service road near Montopolis Drive.
It appears that 22-year-old Matthew Munoz, a 19-year-old woman, and two children were in a Dodge Charger going through the intersection. A witness reportedly saw a Toyota Rav4 going through the intersection run a red light, crashing into Munoz’s vehicle.
Due to the collision, the woman in the Charger had reportedly serious injuries. There did not appear to be any other injuries resulting from the accident. Additional details about the accident are unavailable.

Hopefully authorities were able to keep tabs on the witness they spoke to just in case their testimony is needed later. I can’t how many times we got a case with details like these, and when we went to authorities for a witness’s contact information, it turned out the investigating officer just let the witness go from the scene without so much as a last name. The unfortunate reality is officers make mistakes, and some departments just don’t prioritize accident reconstruction. Ultimately, that leaves victims and families out in the wind unless they have independent investigators picking up the slack. It unfortunately wouldn’t be surprising if this was one of those situations.
