CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — The trial for Sarah Hoss, who is charged with intoxication manslaughter after allegedly driving the wrong way down the SPID feeder road near Waldron Road, has been delayed.
The trial was scheduled for April 29, however attorneys for Hoss requested more time in court Thursday.
The judge agreed.
Hoss is accused of driving the wrong way down the SPID feeder road near Waldron and killing 54-year-old Eutimio "Tim" Barrera.
The incident began when officers with the Corpus Christi Police Department responded to calls of a head-on crash in the eastbound lanes of the SPID feeder road in Flour Bluff, near Waldron, at around 10:30 p.m. Oct. 9, 2022.
The police report said Hoss was driving the wrong way down the feeder road toward Waldron when she went through the Waldron intersection and hit the motorcyclist, who was stopped at the red light.
The report noted that no skid marks were seen at the scene, suggesting Hoss did not try to brake before the accident. She kept driving and ended up stopping about 860 feet from the accident, the report said.
Barrera was rushed to the hospital but later died from his injuries, police said.
Barrera was from Amarillo but was living in Corpus Christi. He was the lead singer of a band in the Houston area called After Party Roxx, his band members confirmed to 3NEWS.
Hoss could face between two and 20 years in prison if convicted of the second-degree felony, and a fine up to $10,000.
