San Antonio – A tragic bus crash occurred on Thursday, July 17, 2025, claiming the lives of four individuals and injuring more than 20 others, including several children. The incident transpired around 2 PM local time along Interstate 35 and involved a stolen Chevrolet Camaro that was seen speeding before it collided with a trailer attached to the transport bus.
The fatal crash resulted in the immediate deaths of two elderly individuals at the scene, with two more victims succumbing to their injuries at a local hospital. Among those killed were Jose Hector “Tito” Guerra, owner of the bus company Transportes Guerra; Maria De Rosario Sanchez, 79, a loving matriarch; and Gonzalo Aguirre, who was en route to visit family in Coahuila, Mexico.
Witness reports indicate that after the collision, four suspects fled the scene on foot, with at least one armed with an AK-style rifle. The identities of the other suspects remain unknown, and as of now, police have not apprehended them. Investigators are continuing to search for the suspects and have released surveillance footage that reportedly shows them breaking into the Camaro with a screwdriver earlier in the week.
The bus involved, operated by Transportes Guerra, was transporting passengers from Fort Worth to Eagle Pass, Mexico, when it lost control and collided with an 18-wheeler following the impact from the Camaro. This collision led to the bus rolling over, causing multiple passengers to be ejected.
In total, 21 individuals sustained injuries in the crash, with four of those being children. The bus company, headquartered on Hemphill Street in Fort Worth, observed a closure the day after the incident, with flowers left at the bus depot in remembrance of the victims.
This incident has ignited a renewed discussion surrounding the risks associated with vehicle theft and high-speed driving. Police have not confirmed whether the Camaro had been reported stolen prior to the crash, and the investigation is ongoing.
The loss of lives and injuries incurred have left a profound impact on the local community and have raised concerns about public safety on the roads, particularly concerning reckless driving and vehicle theft. As authorities continue their investigation, the affected families and the community mourn the loss of their loved ones.
