Press Release #081114(06) Fatality Accident

One person dies after two vehicles collide in north San Angelo.   

                               

On August 9, 2014, at approximately 10:30 pm, San Angelo Police responded to the intersection of E 19th Street and Marx Street for a vehicle accident.  Upon arrival, officers observed a Silver 2003 Pontiac Grand Am and a Maroon 2000 GMC Yukon in the roadway.   The Pontiac was occupied by a 69 year old driver and 24 year old male passenger.   The Yukon was occupied by a 21 year old female passenger only as the driver had fled the scene before officers arrived.   Due to the severity of injuries and because the driver of the Yukon fled the scene, San Angelo Motor Sergeant Kennedy and Motor Officer Loudermilk were called to investigate the accident.

 

San Angelo Fire Department personnel transported the occupants of both vehicles to Shannon Medical Center for treatment.   The driver of the Pontiac, Eulalio Giron, succumbed to fatal injuries he sustained in the crash.  The passenger of the Pontiac, Armando Cervantes, of San Angelo was treated for serious incapacitating injuries he sustained in the crash.  The passenger of the Yukon, Yecenia Sanchez, was treated for minor injuries sustained in the crash.   All three are residents of San Angelo.

 

Preliminary investigation shows the Pontiac was stopped at the intersection of Marx and 19th  Street  northbound.   The Yukon was west bound on 19th   Street.   The driver of the Pontiac failed to yield right of way and entered the intersection colliding with the Yukon.

 

Several hours into the crash investigation, at approximately 2:00 a.m. on August 10, 2014, San Angelo Police Officers located the driver of the Yukon at a residence on the north side of town and identified him as Bernardo Ponce (02/27/95).   Ponce was arrested for Failure to Stop and Render Aid Involving Serious Bodily Injury or Death and transported to the Tom Green County Jail.  This arrest was made without incident.  This is a felony of the second degree.

 

The accident is still under investigation.
