Robert Byers Tobler Obituary – The Texas Department of Public Safety has released the identities of the two individuals who lost their lives in a serious accident that occurred last week in Burnet County. The incident took place on Thursday, May 16, at approximately 3:30 p.m. on State Highway 71 in Spicewood. According to DPS troopers, a collision transpired at the intersection with CR 401 involving a 2017 Ford F150 with a driver and a passenger, and a 2022 Ford F150.
The passenger in the older model Ford F150, Isabel Jiminez Morales, aged 51, tragically passed away at the scene, while the driver was transported to St. David’s South Austin by Marbles Falls EMS personnel. The driver of the 2022 Ford F150, 70-year-old Robert Byers Tobler from Cottonwood Shores, also lost his life in the accident.
Authorities suspect that the wet road conditions resulting from severe weather on that day may have contributed to the collision. The investigation into the incident is still ongoing.
