The preliminary investigation indicates that Anthony Ukadibia was leaving the apartment complex located at 515 E. Slaughter Lane in a silver, 2007 Honda Odyssey. As he approached the roadway to make a left, he honked at the vehicle waiting in front of him. When the vehicle didn’t move, Mr. Ukadibia drove around and attempted to cross eastbound Slaughter Lane. He failed to yield right of way and was struck on the driver’s side by an eastbound white, 2000 Mercury 4-door. Anthony Ukadibia, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was ejected from the vehicle and subsequently struck by a 2011 Ford F-150. He was transported to St. David’s South Austin Medical Center by Austin-Travis County EMS where he succumbed to his injuries.
 
The drivers of the Mercury and the Ford remained on scene. No charges are expected to be filed.
