Bexar County Sheriff’s deputies responded to the crash around 11:05 a.m. on June 5 at the intersection of Talley Road and Tillman Ridge.
Upon arrival, BCSO said its deputies discovered that an 18-wheeler and an SUV were involved in the collision.
In addition to Carreno, deputies stated that three other people in the SUV were taken to local hospitals for treatment.
Carreno died from her injuries at the hospital, and the other people “stabilized,” BCSO said.
