Pflugerville Mother Charged With Intoxication Manslaughter In Death Of 4-Year-Old


The woman involved in a car crash that left her four-year-old daughter dead has been arrested.

Shea Lynn Goss, 31, of Pflugerville has been charged with Intoxication Manslaughter, a 2nd Degree Felony and two counts of Intoxication Assault, both 3rd Degree Felonies. She is custody at the Travis County Jail.

The crash happened Tuesday, Feb. 19 at around 3 p.m. in the 12500 block of Riata Vista Circle, south of Parmer Lane and east of McNeil Drive.

Police say the 2004 Dodge Durango carrying three children and one adult went off the road and crashed into a cluster of oak trees.

The dead child has been identified as Averee Goss, 4.

According to an arrest affidavit, Goss "could not remember driving or that her own kids had been with her in the vehicle. Goss had a very hard time staying awake….  Goss' eyes were bloodshot and glassy…. Goss told the officer that she sees a doctor regularly for chronic pain in her head and back."

If anyone has information about this incident they should call APD Vehicular Homicide Unit Detectives at (512) 947-5312.

This marks Austin’s 13th fatal traffic crash and 15th traffic fatality of 2013.
