It appears that 20-year-old Raul Gallegos and a 12-year-old were in a car going along Culebra. A 66-year-old woman was in another vehicle. Authorities say that street racing may have led to the car and the woman’s vehicle crashing. Due to the collision, the child in the car was killed.

How Did This Accident Occur?
Police allege that racing may have been a factor here, but it’s important to take early reports with a grain of salt. Things can get lost in translation between the crash site and the news desk, and sometimes authorities just get the facts wrong. Instead of jumping to conclusions, it’s best to focus on gathering evidence and letting the facts speak for themselves. That’s especially true if officers are still looking for a suspect driver who may have set all of this into motion.
If anyone thinks they know the driver police are looking for, they should share what they know ASAP.
