San Antonio, TX — Two teenage girls were ejected from a car when a drunk driver blew through an intersection and crashed into a passing SUV in San Antonio, Texas, on Tuesday, July 15, 2014. The accident took place at the intersection of Commercial Avenue and McCauley Avenue, around 5:30 in the morning.
The driver of the car, Jennifer Villegas, was found to have been at a party drinking with the three girls in her car at the time of the accident. Villegas ran a stop sign and collided with an SUV being driven by Maria Montemayor. The collision sent Villegas’ vehicle through a chain link fence before it crashed into a house. Two of the girls inside the car — Desiree and Rebecca Villegas — were not wearing seat belts and were thrown from the car. Both girls survived.
The third passenger in the car, identified as Christine Villanueva, was not ejected from the car.
Jennifer Villegas died at the scene.
Police found beer cans inside the car and scattered around the wreck. The girls later told police that they had been drinking together at a party before the accident occurred.
Maria Montemayor, as well as the three girls, all sustained minor injuries and were taken to a local hospital.
