SAPD: 2 dead, 2 others injured after apparent head-on collision near Von Ormy

Authorities say a sedan veered into wrong-way traffic for unknown reasons before hitting a truck.

SAN ANTONIO — Authorities say a woman and teenage girl are dead – and two others are injured – after an apparent head-on collision in southwest Bexar County Saturday afternoon. The incident occurred near the intersection of La Esperansa and Fischer Road, south of I-35 near Von Ormy.

Matthew Brown, a sergeant with the San Antonio Police Department, said a sedan carrying the two female victims was traveling eastbound before it suddenly veered into the westbound lanes, eventually colliding with a truck occupied by a man and woman. 

The two passengers in the sedan – 32-year-old Amanda Vega-Bocanegra and her daughter, 15-year-old Julissa – were pronounced dead at the scene, Brown said. The occupants of the truck, both in their 40s, were taken to a local hospital; Brown said they are in stable condition. 

Brown said their information comes from witness testimony, and added a third vehicle may have been involved, but the investigation is ongoing. 

A GoFundMe was established Sunday to provide funds for Amanda and Julissa's funeral and sercices.
