The witnesses who saw the horrific crash where an elderly man died, said that he had no chance.
The accident happened at about 8 p.m. near the Family Dollar on Boca Chica and and involved three cars. A white truck Ford F-150 drove into oncoming traffic, and only the rapid response by a man and woman in its path prevented them from being hit.
Instead, the truck allegedly being driven by Marving Andres Resendez Zumaya plowed at about 545 to 50 miles per hour into a beige truck with an elderly driver who was unable to move out of his way in. The impact was such that the man's truck jumped into the the curb. This caused another vehicle to crash into the elderly man's truck, pinning the vehicle. Witnesses say that the white truck did not brake or attempt to move out of way.

A man driving just two cars back from the man's car went to try to provide assistance.
"When I arrived, to the elderly man's truck, she was non-responsive. I, and several others tried, but were unable to remove him from vehicle due to damage to truck body," said the witness.
"It was horrible. He was pinned between steering wheel and seat, and showed no no sign of life," he said, still stunned by the tun of events. "No others were in the in vehicle. I checked on drivers behind her in the other car and both driver and passenger were fine."
When he went to the white truck that had struck the man's car, two onlookers standing by it said the vehicle was empty. One of the onlookers calmly crossed the street, until someone stated he was the driver.
At this point, the man fled the scene and two others chased after him. At about this time the emergency vehicles arrived on the scene and had to use hydraulic Jaws of Life machine to pull his remains from the mangled truck.
Brownsville Police Department officers found the suspect hiding in a tree by the projects on Boca Chica Blvd around 9 p.m. and he was sent to the hospital via an ambulance. He was later charged with criminal negligent homicide and an accident involving death,
