How the Crash Happened
Investigators said a Chevy Malibu driven by 74-year-old Sergio Miguel Gomez left a nearby parking lot. The vehicle failed to stop and crossed multiple lanes of Gateway West. It then jumped the center median and entered I-10 West, where it struck multiple vehicles.
Gomez’s passenger, a 56-year-old woman, suffered injuries and responders transported her to a hospital. A Subaru Crosstrek with two Heartland, Texas residents also got hit. Both occupants suffered minor injuries. A third Subaru driver did not report any injuries.
