“She was constantly upbeat and smiling, and a great
personality to have at the radio station," co-worker Scott Gilmore told KVUE News. “She loved this city and loved what she did, so she brought that energy
and passion every day and we'll really miss that."
In her career, Barbara covered countless breaking news
events, including the wildfires at Steiner Ranch and in Bastrop , but most recently she was on the
city beat, and frequently reported on Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo.
Austin
police say there will be no charges filed against the driver that caused this
deadly accident.
On Monday, Barbara covered road closures in Austin before ex-Navy SEAL Chris Kyle’s
procession. The next morning, she was hit by another driver and badly hurt.
The accident in NW Austin involved three cars. Two other
people had minor injuries, but Barbara was hospitalized immediately.
On Wednesday morning, her injuries proved too severe, and
Barbara passed away.
