Hidalgo County, TX — December 15, 2023, Vanessa Villarreal Moreno was killed and one person was injured following a car accident at 6:15 p.m. along I-2.
Authorities said in preliminary statements that the crash happened along westbound lanes of the interstate/Expressway 83 near at Exit 163A for Vermont Avenue.
According to officials, 41-year-old Vanessa Villarreal Moreno was a passenger in a Ford Focus going along the expressway. That vehicle apparently collided with a guardrail while trying to change lanes, following which a Dodge Ram pickup crashed into the Ford. The crash resulted in Moreno sustaining fatal injuries. The driver of the Ford was seriously injured, and the Dodge driver apparently had no injuries.
Right now, exact details can’t be confirmed.

My hope is that authorities were thorough here in getting to the bottom of what happened. Car accidents are rarely as simple as folks may think. They can involve complex mechanical defects that require specialized training. They can involve chaotic crash scenes that officers need certain tools to investigate to make sure nothing slips through the cracks. There can be outside parties involved, like if, for example, a bar over-serves a drunk driver and it leads to a crash, or if a design or maintenance flaw led to the crash. All in all, someone lost their life here. Their loved ones deserve to know they’re getting the whole story.
