Driver killed Monday in Southeast Austin crash identified

A man who was killed in a Southeast Austin crash Monday night has been identified as 47-year-old Anthony Ukadibia, police said Wednesday.

Ukadibia was leaving an apartment complex at 515 East Slaughter Lane, just east of Interstate 35 South, around 7:58 p.m. in a silver 2007 Honda Odyssey, police said. He honked at the vehicle in front of him as he waited to turn left, police said. The vehicle did not move, they said, and Ukadibia drove around and tried to cross the eastbound lanes of Slaughter Lane.

He failed to yield to the right-of-way and was hit by a white 2000 four-door Mercury going east on Slaughter Lane, police said. Ukadibia, who was not wearing a seat belt, was thrown from the vehicle and hit by a 2011 Ford F150, police said.

Austin-Travis County EMS medics took Ukadibia to St. David's South Austin Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, police said. Medics took a second man, described as being in his 40s, to the hospital with potentially serious injuries, they said.

The drivers of the Mercury and the Ford remained at the scene of the crash and no charges are expected to be filed against them, police said.

Anyone with information on the crash can call police at 512-974-5576.
