Community Grieves as Identity of Pedestrian Killed on July 4 Is Confirmed

Staff Writer – Cuero, TX – July 5, 2025
The Cuero community is mourning the loss of Ruth Anne Killough, the elderly woman tragically struck and killed by a vehicle during her morning walk on July 4 near the intersection of E. Morgan Avenue and Stockdale Street.

Authorities confirmed her identity late Friday evening after notifying her family. Ruth Anne, a longtime educator and beloved community member, was known for her daily walks and active involvement in local groups. Her death has left a deep void in the hearts of many who knew her.

According to sources, the male driver involved in the incident contacted police immediately following the collision. As of this writing, no charges have been filed, and the investigation remains ongoing. Officials have not released further details about the driver or the circumstances surrounding the crash.

Community members have shared that Ruth Anne may have been deaf or partially deaf, a factor that could have contributed to her vulnerability near roadways. The intersection where the incident occurred was closed for several hours as investigators worked to piece together what happened.

In the wake of this tragedy, Ruth Anne’s family has launched a GoFundMe campaign to help cover immediate expenses and to establish scholarships in her name—an effort that reflects her lifelong dedication to education and service.
