Accident Report
El Paso, TX — February 4, 2026, Arturo Frias Moreno was killed in a car accident at about 5 p.m. in the 300 block of West Rio Grande Avenue.
Authorities said a 2014 Audi Q7 was heading southwest toward Yandell Drive when it hit a pedestrian.
The pedestrian, 57-year-old Arturo Frias Moreno, died after being transported to a local hospital, according to authorities.
The Audi driver was not injured, according to a preliminary accident report. His vision was affected by the sun’s glare at the time of the crash.
Authorities have not released any additional information about the El Paso County crash at this time.
How Did This Accident Occur?
The crash report noted the Audi driver was blinded by the sun at the time of this accident, but that is just a factor, not the cause. Did he slow down because his vision was impaired? Was the pedestrian trying to cross the street or getting into a car? Did the Audi have an issue with its breaks or steering mechanism.
A thorough investigation should yield enough facts to answer these questions after a review of evidence from the scene, data from the Audi’s engine control module and available witness statements and video footage. An independent expert may be needed for a forensic review of the SUV if there are any indications of a mechanical problem.
