What started as a normal journey across Texas turned tragic in an instant when a stolen white Camaro slammed into a Transportes Guerra bus, killing four people and shattering several families in the process.
The fatal crash occurred on the IH-35 freeway and has left a tight-knit border community reeling—and demanding answers.
Victims Identified by Grieving Families
In the aftermath of the accident, families turned to social media to confirm the identities of the victims.
Among the four lives lost was Jose Hector “Tito” Guerra, 51, the beloved driver of the bus and owner of the Transportes Guerra company.
Tito had deep roots in both Allende, Coahuila and Fort Worth, Texas, where he had built his transportation business alongside his father in the 1990s.
He was widely respected and known for his commitment to helping connect communities across the border.
Remembering Maria del Rosario Sanchez
Also killed in the crash was Maria del Rosario Sanchez, 78, a resident of Nueva Rosita, Coahuila.
Her family confirmed she was one of the surviving widows from the Pasta de Conchos mining tragedy, and had been returning home to Mexico after visiting loved ones in Texas.
Her story has struck a particular chord online, where many have remembered her strength and the heartbreak of surviving one tragedy only to be taken by another.
Gonzalo Aguilera Mourned by Loved Ones
A third victim, Gonzalo Aguilera, was identified by family members including Silvia González Villanueva, who spoke to local media in San Antonio.
In a heart-wrenching statement, she said, “He shouldn’t have died like that,” expressing the grief and frustration so many feel after the senseless crash.
Gonzalo, like the others, was simply traveling when his life was cut short.
Young Woman Among the Victims
The fourth person who lost their life was Yane Cis Ne, a young woman originally from Nueva Rosita but living in Austin, Texas.
Her identity was confirmed through posts by friends and family.
Yane was a passenger on the bus, and her untimely death has sparked widespread sorrow online, especially among the border community that often uses these transportation services.
Tito Guerra’s Final Journey Still Undecided
While the community continues to process the shock, there’s still uncertainty about where Tito Guerra will be laid to rest.
His family has not yet made a public decision on whether his remains will be returned to Allende, Coahuila, or remain in Fort Worth, the city he called home for many years.
A Devastating Loss for Border Transportation Services
The Transportes Guerra buses were known for traveling the Texas highways almost daily, transporting passengers from Puerto Arturo through Eagle Pass and then distributing them in smaller vehicles to towns across Northern Coahuila.
The crash has highlighted just how essential—and vulnerable—these cross-border routes are.
Justice Demanded as Investigation Continues
As U.S. authorities continue to investigate the crash, the families of those who died are calling for accountability.
Many are outraged that the tragedy was caused by a stolen vehicle and want to see justice served.
The accident has sparked emotional reactions not only from relatives but from the broader borderland community, where safety, justice, and trust are now top of mind.
