Teen Witness Talks About Fatal Accident

Teenager Olivia Hyten was killed in an accident last Friday and now one of the witnesses to that accident is talking.

Austin Meade says the gravity of what happened to 15-year-old Olivia Hyten hit him while sitting at her funeral.

Friday night, Austin says he called Mike Mosley, the son of Judge Donald Mosley, to give him a ride home from his girlfriend's house. Going south on Eastern, they pulled up behind their friend David Jensen. Olivia and two others were in David's truck.

Both trucks turned onto Grand Hills.

"We pulled up next to them, going the speed limit and we are like, ‘David, you are not answering your phone. Roll down your window, roll down your window,'" said Meade.

Meade says he wished they never saw him, "We waved and he decided to haul ass trying to get Mike to race him, of course. I remember Jake telling Mike, ‘Do not speed up. Slow down.'"

As the white truck Olivia was in sped away, Austin says he remembers Mike saying they would not make the next curve at that speed, "I remember the rocks flying up, the dust going everywhere."

Austin says the truck flipped twice and Mike immediately stopped to help. Austin says he froze and adds Mike was the only one taking charge.

"Mike immediately was like, ‘Austin, snap out of it. You have to hop on 911. You have to call the cops. Jake, help me help people out of the car.'"

They all tried to help Olivia, but it was too late, "I think of it more of like I did what I could and I tried my best and we tried our best and that is the best we can do."

Austin says he wants to get the story straight. He says Mike could have run, but did not. He stresses Mike did not instigate any race, "We were not racing. We were not. David being stupid trying to show off, whatever, that's his fault being a kid, but we were not racing."

Meade says he does not know what Mike Mosley was doing earlier in the night and he did not know Mike had been drinking. Henderson Police charged Mosley with driving under the influence.

A spokesman says more charges for the accident may be coming against the driver of the truck Olivia Hyten was in.
