SAN ANTONIO – Two people were killed after being involved in a “high-speed” collision on the Southwest Side, San Antonio police said.
The crash occurred around 4:30 p.m. Sunday in the 12000 block of Fischer Road, just east of Interstate 35.
A man in a black Ford Mustang sports car was driving west at a high-rate speed toward I-35 and lost control, police said, before crashing into a silver Ford Fusion sedan.
Police said the driver of the Mustang likely lost control due to the high speed at which he was driving.
The drivers of both vehicles died at the scene before emergency services could help them out of the cars, the department said.
On Monday, the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office identified one of the drivers as Richard Garcia, 45.
Garcia died of blunt force injuries, the medical examiner’s office said. His death was ruled an accident.
The other driver has not been identified as of Monday night.
There was one passenger in each vehicle, police said, and both were taken to local hospitals with major injuries.
The department said there is no crime element at the moment, but it is subject to change. The investigation is ongoing.
