When CHANNEL 5 NEWS arrived at the scene, Alamo police units were also just getting to the scene. One of the vehicles knocked down a power line and there was smoke and fire on one side of the street.
A Texas Department of Public Safety trooper say a grey Suburban and 18-wheeler were driving in opposite directions and collided. They say the two men in the Suburban were brothers. One of them, 25-year-old Santos Hernandez Sauceda, died in the accident; the other was injured.
"We know for sure that the actual fatality was not wearing a seatbelt. He was ejected from the vehicle," says trooper Maria Alaniz.
The person inside the 18-wheeler was trapped inside the vehicle. Troopers say he was stuck underneath the dashboard and the truck was touching live power lines. Rescuers, including state troopers, EMS personnel and the power company, all worked to get the trapped person out of the truck.
