A 38-year-old woman is in jail after causing a two-vehicle crash that left a woman, her mother, her sister and her infant son dead.
The fatal San Antonio car accident occurred at about 7 p.m. on Sunday, August 8. Valerie Andrews ran a red light at Roosevelt Avenue and S.E. Military Drive. A police officer saw the traffic violation and tried to stop Andrews. However, she sped away, ran a stop sign and collided with a Dodge Caravan minivan. The driver of the minivan and her front seat passenger died at the scene. Two rear seat passengers died at the hospital. Andrews sustained a broken ankle.
Valerie Andrews has been charged with four counts of intoxication manslaughter and one count each of evading arrest, theft, failure to identify herself and driving without a valid license. She is being held in Bexar County Jail. Bail is set at $230,000.
Andrews had been arrested in 2003 for driving while intoxicated.
Police identified the dead as 21-year-old Marcella Perez, her 5-month-old son Brian, her 15-year-old sister Alejandra Perez Aguilar and their 55-year-old mother Maria Aguilar de Perez.
The Cowen Law Group offers our condolences to the Perez family.
