A tragic accident in Socorro, Texas has claimed the life of a 30-year-old man. According to police reports, the incident occurred on Monday night, July 10th at around 9:46 p.m. The victim, identified as Jose Guadalupe Rodriguez from San Elizario, was traveling east on Carl Longuemare at a high rate of speed when he lost control of his vehicle.
The vehicle veered off the road and rolled approximately 10 feet into a nearby canal. During this violent crash, Rodriguez was ejected from the vehicle. Unfortunately, he did not survive his injuries.
Authorities were alerted to the accident by a citizen who noticed an overturned vehicle while walking along the canal near the area on Tuesday morning, July 11th at around 8 a.m. Special Traffic Investigators were immediately dispatched to investigate the scene.
Preliminary investigations suggest that speed was the main contributing factor to this fatal crash. Additionally, it is believed that wet road conditions and Rodriguez's failure to wear a seatbelt may have also played a role in this tragedy.
Due to its location within close proximity to water and vegetation surrounding it, it was difficult for passersby or motorists traveling along that stretch of Carl Longuemare Road to notice that an accident had taken place until it was discovered by chance.
The El Paso Police Department has not released any further details regarding this incident as they continue their investigation into what led up to this devastating crash.
