MANOR, Texas (FOX 7 Austin) - The Texas Rangers are investigating an in custody death in Travis County. Manor police say a car crashed into a home near North Caldwell Street and West Murray Avenue around 6:30 a.m. on Christmas Day.

Officers found the suspected driver, a 46-year-old man, a couple of blocks away.

Police called EMS and medics took the man to a local hospital where he later died.
