Man arrested after killing two while drunk driving

Two individuals were killed and one Plano resident was arrested after a drunk driving accident, Nov. 6. Plano Police and Plano Fire-Rescue responded to a serious traffic crash Friday evening involving two vehicles near the intersection of Alma Drive and Cross Bend Road. Upon arrival, two occupants in one of the vehicles were found unconscious. Plano Fire Rescue personnel attempted life-saving measures which were unsuccessful. Both individuals were declared dead at the scene.

Based on the preliminary police investigation, a Toyota Rav4 was struck by a Ford F150 after attempting to make a left turn onto westbound Cross Bend Road on a flashing yellow light. The Ford, traveling at high speeds, was driven by 22-year-old Steve Jaramillo, who is now in custody. The Rav4 flipped and landed on its right side, striking the traffic signal pole and a tree on the southwest corner of the intersection.

Jaramillo was arrested for driving while intoxicated. This incident remains under investigation by the Plano Police Traffic Unit. Additional charges will be considered pending the outcome of the investigation.

The victims were later identified by police as Vickie Ann Atwell, a 60-year-old Plano woman and Marshall Warren Gulley, a 67-year old Plano man.
