Deaf Miss Texas Hit By Train
Submitted by: AP
Miss Deaf Texas 2005 Tara Rose McAvoy, 18, was walking Monday
March 13, 2006, near railroad tracks when she was struck by a Union
Pacific train, authorities said. A witness told Austin television station
KTBC the train sounded its horn right up until the accident occurred.
McAvoy, who had been deaf since birth, won the state title in June
and represented the state "with dignity and pride," state
pageant director Laura Loeb-Hill told The Associated Press. McAvoy
was to represent Texas at the Miss Deaf America pageant this summer,
Loeb-Hill said.
McAvoy graduated last year from the Texas School for the Deaf, attended
Austin Community College and then started at Gallaudet University
in Washington, D.C., in January, but had returned to Texas, Loeb-Hill said.
