SAN ANTONIO — An O'Connor High School graduate and former Texas Wesleyan football player was killed in an accident in Fort Worth Saturday night.
Fort Worth police said Charles Trammell, III, was out of his vehicle on the side of an Interstate 30 ramp after possibly being involved in a minor accident with another driver. A third car hit one of the other cars, causing Trammell to fall off the bridge.
The driver of that third car was arrested, police said. He has been identified as Miguel Lopez, 28, and faces charges of intoxication manslaughter and intoxication assault.
O'Connor High School Athletics in San Antonio tweeted out condolences to his family and friends. He graduated from the high school in 2019.
