The victim was rushed to a local hospital with what police described as life-threatening injuries. She was reportedly ejected from the car.
Investigators remained on scene into the early morning hours of Wednesday trying to determine what triggered the collision.
A white stripper?
In El Paso? Nope another crazy Latina driver.
You miss the strip clubs? Too bad. rofl.
Ejected from the car? Normally, that means not wearing a seat belt.
Madmike. Duuuuhhhhhhh. Nice problem solving skills. No one but you would have figured that out.
I hope she survives.
She died moron.
Investigators need to send Madmike. He knows everything. Save the taxpayers money by sending madmikes and K1dprs “know everything” firm.
Would have survived the crash had she worn her seatbelt. Very sad.
