A devastating accident early this morning in Laredo, Texas, has left a young woman in critical condition. The crash happened around 6 a.m. on January 1 at the intersection of Lomas Del Sur Boulevard and South Ejido Avenue, shaking the quiet morning with a tragic turn of events.
According to police, a black car was heading west on Lomas Del Sur when it collided with a pick-up truck traveling south on South Ejido. The impact was so intense that a passenger in the car, 27-year-old Marisol Saucedo, was thrown out of the vehicle. Tragically, she was then run over by one of the vehicles involved in the crash.
Emergency responders rushed Marisol to a hospital in San Antonio, where she is now fighting for her life. Authorities believe that the collision and subsequent tragedy could have been prevented, as both drivers involved were allegedly under the influence.
The pick-up truck driver, 27-year-old Cristian Daniel Valenciano, was arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated. Meanwhile, the driver of the car, 24-year-old Anissa Margarita Calderon, is facing charges for driving under the influence.
This heartbreaking incident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of drinking and driving, a choice that can have devastating consequences for everyone involved. Families and friends of those affected are now grappling with the aftermath of this preventable tragedy as investigators work to piece together exactly what happened.
