Accident Report

El Paso, TX — April 6, 2026, Jaime Andrade was killed in a hit-and-run accident at about 9:15 p.m. in the 6300 block of North Desert Boulevard.

Authorities said a 2016 BMW 428i crashed into several vehicles, including a 2026 Subaru Outback, south of Artcraft Road.

Subaru driver Jaime Humberto Andrade, 56, died from injuries suffered in the crash, according to authorities.

The BMW driver fled on foot after the crash, but she subsequently was arrested at a house on Rosa Gandara Drive, authorities said. She was charged with intoxication manslaughter.

Authorities have not released any additional information about the El Paso County crash at this time.

How Did This Accident Occur?

I expect authorities to investigate this crash like any other fatality accident, but I hope they also will look into where the BMW driver had been drinking if blood tests confirm she was intoxicated at the time.

That matters, because under Texas law alcohol providers can share responsibility for injuries caused in drunk driver crashes if the driver was served while obviously intoxicated.

I’m not claiming that is what happened in this instance, but the Subaru driver’s family deserves to know everyone who may have played a role in this crash.
