Name withheld by police

How they died

Pursuit

DPS troopers were pursuing a red Dodge pickup truck, and it crashed head-on into a white Ford F-150. Eight undocumented passengers--seven men and one woman--from the Dodge pickup were killed. The driver and a child passenger from the Ford pickup and one undocumented passenger from the Dodge pickup were transported to a hospital in San Antonio. The alleged driver of the red pickup truck tried to leave but was apprehended. Sebastian Tovar, 24, of Austin, was charged with "transporting illegal aliens resulting in death."
