Ricardo Figueroa was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident, while the driver of the vehicle was flown by EMS in a helicopter to a San Antonio Hospital where an update on their condition was not currently available.
The Department of Transportation is currently handling the crash investigation.
Commentary:
Due to the nature of single-vehicle accidents, many bits of evidence can be overlooked at the scene for no other reason than that the responding officials are overburdened. The police who respond to a crash have a duty to tend to victims, redirect traffic, clear the road of wreckage, document what they think happened, all while communicating with dispatch and possibly juggling another emergency call. Either way, this is the kind of accident that deserves a closer look, if only for more answers and the truth behind what may have happened.
