Katy Elizabeth Offenburger 9/9 Dallas woman killed at deadly curve Saturday By RAYMOND LINEX II/Daily Sun Staff RICHLAND -- A 23-year-old Dallas woman was killed Saturday night near Richland when a northbound 18-wheeler crossed the median and crushed her sports car. "(Death) was instantaneous," investigating Department of Public Safety Trooper Dane Baker said. Katy Elizabeth Offenburger died when her 1991 Mazda 626 was pinned between a 2000 International truck tractor driven by Michael Barnes of Del City, Okla. and a southbound bridge guardrail. Baker said Barnes was traveling at an unsafe speed given the dampness of Interstate 45 at milemarker 219, in an area notoriously known as Richland Curve. The reefer trailer Baker was hauling started shimmying, witnesses told Baker. When the trailer began to swerve, Barnes tried to overcorrect the movement but the trailer jackknifed. The momentum carried the tractor and trailer through the center median and into the southbound lane, where it struck Offenburger's car in the outside lane and forced it into the guardrail. The rear portion of the tractor landed on top of the car. "According to witnesses behind (Offenburger), the driver had no time to make evasive action to avoid the truck trailer," Baker said. It took emergency personnel about three hours to extract Offenburger. "I got the call at 7:02 (p.m.) and got here about 7:15, and they didn't extract her until almost 10," Precinct 4 Justice of the Peace Connie Mayfield said. Clara (Sansom) Wheelock Clara S.
