What happened to Captain Taylor?

The background story:

Captain Taylor had left an Austin hospital on Mother's Day, May 11, after greeting his fifth child when the crash happened.

Officials say that Taylor's vehicle was hit by another vehicle from behind.

An official from Austin's police authority was witness to the collision with two vehicles at 1:05 a.m. in North Austin. In addition to Taylor, the officer was at the intersection of the East Koesing Lane and the Airport Boulevard at a traffic light.

The officer reported that you see a black Dodge SUV Heck, the Blue Toyota Sienna, which Taylor drove. The power of the impact threw Taylors van 150 feet and Taylor was declared dead at the scene.

Taylor left the hospital and on the way to picking up his other children to meet her new little brother.

What you say:

The family of Captain Taylor and the Killen Fire Department say that they appreciate the community, which respects the privacy of the family during this time. They also say that they are extremely grateful for the support of residents nearby and widespread.

Killen Fire boss James Kubinski called Taylor's death an “enormous loss”.

“We continued the mourning process as a whole department. I do not think that there is a single person in this department with whom Marvin did not interact with his 10 years,” said Chief Kubinski.

“I remember one of his first weeks here,” said Kubinski. “He came to my office and said: 'I know that this was not a selected task, but I know that I will do the best job that I can do. I will proud of the work I will do.'”

Suspects in the accident that was arrested for poisoning, homicide

Grab deeper:

The 34-year-old Rodney Bremby was arrested in connection with the accident in which Taylor was killed for poisoning.

According to court documents, the Black Dodge Durango had electronic data storage that enabled the investigators to see how quickly Bremby went.

The speed limit on the Koeing Lane is 45 miles per hour. The sensory diagnostic module showed that Bremby drove 103 miles per hour with impact.

Bremby ended on Wednesday with a planned court appointment for July 2 from Travis County's prison.
