Horrific crash at Little River Dragway

LITTLE RIVER-ACADEMY — An accident Friday night claimed the life of a Killeen man racing at the Little River-Academy Dragway, David Borders, Little River-Academy fire chief, said.
The accident was called in at 7:14 p.m. and responders were on the scene by 7:16 p.m., Borders said.



Officials identified the man as Allen Mouton, 48, of Killeen.
He was driving a 2008 Ford Mustang Cobra. The vehicle made it halfway down the track when Mouton apparently lost control, rolled over a guard rail and struck a tree. The vehicle was cut in half upon impact, according to Donnie Adams, spokesman for the Bell County Sheriff’s Department.
The scene was cleared at about 8:40 p.m
