Brazoria County: Fatal Richwood crash

What we know:

Police say the crash was reported at about 3:30 a.m. Sunday on Bayou Bend Drive, near FM 2004 and Oakwood Trail.

The crash was reported as a "single-vehicle rollover crash involving an off-road UTV." 

Police say multiple people were on the UTV, and a 33-year-old woman was ejected from the vehicle during the crash. The woman was pronounced deceased at the scene.

Officials believe 38-year-old Sean Berkley was driving the UTV at the time, and speed and alcohol are suspected of playing a role in the crash. Police say they had "probable cause to arrest Berkley for Intoxication Manslaughter."

Officials then reportedly served a warrant to collect a blood sample from Berkley, and they're waiting on the results.

The investigation is ongoing.
