Timmons lives in Houston, and on weekends she delivers groceries to make extra money. She was in Austin on Feb. 14 picking up orders, and planned on heading home after making an 11 a.m. delivery. Timmons thought she would have plenty of time to get home before the winter storm hit, but instead, while dropping off groceries at the home of Nina Richardson and Doug Condon, her car got stuck on their icy driveway.
