AUSTIN, Texas — A car spotted on the side of the road Sunday in South Austin, was the result of a deadly single-car collision.

  • Happened at 1000 S Mopac
  • Car found in wooded area
  • Woman identified as Cheyanne Sage Serrano

A passerby reported a car in a wooded area off 1000 S Mopac northbound at 9:58 a.m. Sunday morning. When EMS arrived, they discovered a woman’s body inside.

Officials say the driver lost control and slid into a tree. The driver was pronounced dead at the scene and was identified as 27-year-old Cheyanne Sage Serrano.

Since the vehicle was found in a wooded area, it would have been difficult to see, especially at night.

This is the 28th fatal traffic crash in Austin this year. Anyone with information is asked to call the Vehicular Homicide Unite at 512-974-5594.
