this really sucks..

Keep Mica and Chad in you prayers guys.. I heard about this from Clay yesterday and this is the wright up in the CS paper..

A New Waverly woman was killed and a Texas A&M University student was seriously injured in unrelated traffic accidents on Brazos Valley roads overnight Sunday.

A&M student Mika Frazier was critically injured when she was thrown from her boyfriend’s Nissan Altima after it struck a utility pole in the 1500 block of Holleman Drive, College Station police said. The accident occurred about 2 a.m. Monday.

Frazier was taken to St. Joseph Regional Health Center where she was in the intensive care unit late Monday. Driver Chad Allen Kowalski, also an A&M student, was arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated. He was not seriously injured, police said.

About four hours earlier, New Waverly resident Sandra Gail McGilbra was killed after losing control of her vehicle while driving around a curve on F.M. 247 in Milam County.

Troopers said McGilbra, 41, was driving north on the highway, about seven miles south of Midway, when she lost control while coming out of a curve. Her vehicle slid across the road and into a tree at about 10 p.m. Sunday, according to Department of Public Safety reports.

McGilbra, who was not wearing a seat belt, was pronounced dead at the scene about an hour later.

In College Station late Monday, detectives continued to investigate the accident that injured Frazier.

According to a police officer’s sworn affidavit, a resident of the Arbors at Wolf Pen Creek apartment complex reported the accident at about 2 a.m. Monday, saying he had just been approached by a man who either was in shock or intoxicated.

When officers arrived at the Holleman Drive complex, they found a frantic Kowalski who told police his girlfriend had been hurt in an accident just down the road, court documents state. He then had the resident drive him to the accident site — on the street outside of the Sears Service Center — as police followed, court documents state.

Frazier, 24, of College Station, was lying on the ground, her eyes open and her breathing labored, court documents state.

Kowalski told police he was driving the pair home from Triangle Bowl in Bryan, heading west on Holleman when his girlfriend reached over and jerked the steering wheel, court documents state. Kowalski, who said he and Frazier had been fighting while driving, told police he then slammed on the brakes, causing his car to spin, documents state.

The 24-year-old driver said he noticed his girlfriend was gone — apparently ejected from the vehicle through the passenger side window —when the car stopped, court documents state. He said he stopped and tried to pick up his girlfriend but couldn’t, so he instead ran down the street to look for help, court documents state.

Kowalski consented to a blood test to determine his blood-alcohol level before he was taken to the Brazos County Jail. He since has been released on $2,000 bond.
