Bell County, TX — April 12, 2025, Larry Scarcella III and one other person were injured due to a car accident at 9:03 a.m. along F.M. 2484.
Investigations said that the incident took place just off Stillhouse Hollow Road, south of Harker Heights.
According to officials, 64-year-old Larry Scarcella III was in a Ford Ranger traveling southwest along F.M. 2484. A 63-year-old man was in a Ford F-250 traveling the opposite direction. The F-250 reportedly failed to stay in its lane, and it crashed into the Ford Ranger.
Due to the crash, Larry Scarcella and the F-250 driver both reportedly had serious injuries. Authorities allege that the Ford F-250 driver had been drinking, but it’s unconfirmed if authorities determined that driver was intoxicated.

If further testing shows that alcohol did lead to this crash, people might think that would make the situation open-and-shut. In reality, though, finding out if a driver was drunk is often just the first part of the story. It’s also important to find out where a drunk driver got their alcohol and whether or not they were over-served.
In Texas, alcohol providers such as bars and liquor stores can be responsible if they unlawfully over-serve someone who is obviously intoxicated, and it leads to people getting hurt or killed. This is both important for victims and families, who rightfully want to see accountability for the wrongs done to them and also for getting otherwise reckless establishments to clean up their act before more people get hurt.
