Whilow Heil victim of single vehicle accident on FM 1484 in Cut and Shoot
Montgomery County officials are investigating the cause of a single vehicle crash that has tragically taken the life of eight month old Whilow Heil. The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office has said that Whilow died when a Chevrolet Suburban, driven by Whilow’s mother Ashli Heil, left the roadway Monday night in Cut and Shoot and struck a tree. Accident witness Becky Paschel said she saw the Suburban approaching her from the opposite direction on FM 1484. Paschel describes the Suburban as “not making the curve” and traveling as if it were out of control. Deputies think the crash happened at around 7:00pm at 18125 FM 1484. According to investigators Ashli Heil was not wearing a seat belt. EMTs who arrived at the scene said they could smell alcohol on Ashli’s breath, which is being investigated as a possible cause in the crash. Investigators believe speed and the wet road surface may also have been factors in the accident. Ashli Heil is at Memorial Hermann Hospital in critical condition. Channel 2 News’ story is here.
