SAPD: 1 dead, 1 in serious condition after rollover crash on Loop 410

Investigators said the driver over-corrected near Loop 410 and Quintana Road Sunday night.

During a vigil held Monday night, Gutierrez’s mother recalled the first few moments of her daughter’s life.

“She was born 2 pounds 8 ounces, and they didn’t think she was going to make it,” Amy Cantu said. “She was a baby. She was born at 23 weeks and she beat all the odds.”

The driver in the crash was taken to University Hospital with life-threatening injuries.

The investigation into what caused the crash continues, and charges are pending.
