A Texas man is facing an intoxication manslaughter charge following an early-morning crash that left a 24-year-old woman dead. The Round Rock Police Department says 28-year-old Christopher Lundquist ran a red light before colliding with another vehicle on October 4.
Officers responded to the intersection of South Kenney Fort Boulevard and Gattis School Road at approximately 6 a.m. following reports of a two-vehicle crash. The department’s preliminary investigation indicates Lundquist had been traveling southbound on South Kenney Fort Boulevard immediately before the collision.
Police say Lundquist ran a red light and struck a vehicle traveling eastbound on Gattis School Road. The driver of that vehicle, identified as 24-year-old Shruti Amin, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Lundquist was transported to a local hospital following the crash before later being booked into the Williamson County Jail. Court records list a single charge of intoxication manslaughter with a vehicle stemming from the October 4 crash.

Separate Misdemeanor Case Predates Fatal Crash
A separate court entry under Lundquist’s name lists a misdemeanor case for failure to transfer boat ownership. That charge carries an offense date of July 11, nearly three months before the crash that led to the intoxication manslaughter case.
The available record identifies the boat ownership offense as a Class C misdemeanor and shows that a new case was filed on October 1. Nothing in the information provided indicates that the misdemeanor case is connected to the October 4 crash or the intoxication manslaughter charge.
Round Rock Police described its findings surrounding the fatal collision as preliminary when announcing Lundquist’s arrest. The court records provided do not specify the amount of bond set in the manslaughter case, although they confirm that a magistrate set bond and that related conditions were entered on October 5.
