Cynthia Stanford IDed as victim in Bell County solo crash

TEMPLE, TX – A 62-year-old woman died Monday in a single-vehicle collision along the highway in north-central Bell County, reports KCENTV 6.

Shortly before 3:30 p.m., emergency crews responded to a rollover accident on TX-317 near Airport Road, or TX-36, in northwest Temple, which is just over an hour northeast of Austin.

For unknown reasons, police say, the driver of a northbound SUV lost control of her vehicle and left the roadway, causing the SUV to overturn into a ditch.
