About the Fatal Crash

According to an ABC KSAT news report, the accident happened around 2 p.m. Friday afternoon on San Pedro Avenue and Basse Road in San Antonio, Texas.

Witnesses reported seeing a silver Acura Integra and white Ford Crown Victoria racing at high speeds. A passenger in the Integra was seen hanging out the window and arguing with the Crown Victoria before falling out of the vehicle. The driver of the Integra stopped to put the passenger back in the car before driving away.

Soon following, the Integra collided head-on with a black Chevrolet Silverado, killing the Integra’s driver and passenger. The two deceased have been identified as Valerio Perez, 19 and Isidro Cuellar, 19.

The driver of the pickup truck was transported to a nearby hospital to be treated for a broken leg.
