Temple Police have identified the driver who surrendered himself after a Friday night hit-and-run which left two people dead at the intersection of South 1st Street and W. Avenue O.
Around 11:07 p.m., officers responded to the intersection of 5th Street and Avenue O, where a 911 caller told dispatch that a maroon pickup truck sped away from the scene of a crash. When police arrived, they found a male and female dead on the ground.
Roughly 20 minutes later, the driver, 60-year-old Darrell Gene Holloway, turned himself in at the Temple Police Department, according to Temple Police Spokesperson Shawana Neely.
"Officers believed the subject to be intoxicated and conducted a sobriety screening," Neely said in a press release.
The results of that screening were not immediately made public.
The victims of the crash have been identified as Temple residents, mother and son, 51-year-old Maria Marta Garza and 33-year-old Pedro Danny Garza.
The Criminal Investigations Division is preparing the case for review with the Bell County District Attorney's Office.
