A 22-year-old El Paso woman was killed in a car crash on Zaragoza Road near Vista Del Sol Drive on Saturday. The alleged drunk driver, Brian Anthony Gamero, was driving a PT Cruiser when he hit the back of a Mazda SX3 driven by Crystal Saldana early Saturday morning.
Gamero told police that he was being chased, by people who were trying to harm him, before he got into a crash that killed the 22-year-old women. According to court records, two months ago, Gamero was charged with reckless driving and evading arrest in a vehicle.
According to the latest Texas Department of Transportation statistics, in 2012 there were 17 fatal DUI crashes and 184 serious injury crashes in El Paso County.
