According to the Texas Department of Public Safety\u2019s preliminary investigation, the motorcycle was unable to avoid the Camaro as it attempted a left U-turn. Mindi, a passenger on the motorcycle, suffered fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.<\/p>\n<p>Her passing leaves behind a silence that words can hardly describe. Twenty-six years is far too short for a life filled with hopes, dreams, laughter, memories, and moments still waiting to be lived. In an instant, a beautiful life was changed forever, leaving loved ones to face the heartbreaking reality of a future without her.<\/p>\n<p>The motorcycle\u2019s driver, Ryan Adam Meighen, 39, of Gardendale, was seriously injured and transported to Medical Center Hospital in Odessa, where he was reported in critical condition. The Camaro driver, Austin Xavier Berjarano, 22, of Midland, suffered minor injuries.<\/p>\n<p>As investigators continue working to understand exactly what happened, those who knew Mindi are left remembering the person she was and the moments she gave to others.<\/p>\n<p>May her memory remain a light in the hearts of everyone who loved her. May Mindi Lane Harris rest peacefully, forever remembered and never forgotten. \ud83d\udd4a\ufe0f\ud83e\udd0d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Life Gone Too Soon.
