A 68-year-old man faces intoxication manslaughter charges after a grisly crash killed a family of four Sunday afternoon near Lake Conroe — adding to the troubling tally of deadly driving deaths in Montgomery County.

Ronald Cooper, of Montgomery, faces four counts of intoxication manslaughter and two counts of intoxication assault for his role in a three-vehicle wreck at 12:46 p.m. along Texas 105 near Marina Drive, right in front of Conroe Fire Station No. 6.

The victims were identified late Sunday as: Roland Sedlmeier, 49; Melinda Sedlmeier, 42; Harley Sedlmeier, 6; and Sofie Sedlmeier, 4, who were riding together in a Toyota Echo left unrecognizable by the force of the crash. Two teenagers — 16- and 15-year-old boys — in a Jeep Wrangler were injured, as was Cooper, who was arrested after the accident at a local hospital, police said. click here for complete story
