The driver who Bexar County Sheriff's Office deputies say caused the fatal wreck, 17-year-old Juan Pablo Ochoa, also died.

Deputies said Ochoa was speeding while heading south on 1560 when he veered into oncoming traffic and hit a car carrying a family of four head-on.

Ochoa is believed to have died on impact.

His passenger was taken to an area hospital in an unknown condition.

Authorities believe drugs may have played a role in the crash.
