Mindi’s death has left her family and loved ones facing the devastating aftermath of an unexpected road accident. The fatal crash occurred shortly after midnight on September 13, at the intersection of East Cottonwood Road and Lariat Trail in Burnet.
Fatal Burnet Crash
According to preliminary information released by the Texas Highway Patrol, the collision involved a 2016 Chevrolet Camaro and a 2025 Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
Investigators reported that the Camaro was traveling westbound along East Cottonwood Road in the inside lane. The motorcycle was traveling directly behind the vehicle in the same lane.
The preliminary account indicates that the Camaro later moved into the outside westbound lane. Authorities said the maneuver was reportedly made to provide additional room for a turn.
The situation then changed suddenly when the Camaro attempted to make a left U-turn across the inside westbound lane.

The motorcycle rider was unable to avoid the Camaro’s maneuver. The Harley-Davidson subsequently struck the left-rear portion of the Chevrolet Camaro, resulting in the serious collision.
