According to authorities, deputies with the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office responded to a crash involving a pedestrian shortly after 1:00 a.m. on Loop 375 near Mile Marker 20. Preliminary investigations revealed that a silver Honda traveling eastbound struck a pedestrian who was crossing the roadway. That pedestrian was later identified as 19-year-old Andres Montanez.
Emergency responders rushed Andres to a local hospital, where medical teams fought to save his life. Despite their efforts, he tragically succumbed to his injuries, leaving behind grieving family members, friends, and a community struggling to comprehend the loss of someone so young.
At just 19 years old, Andres had his entire future ahead of him. He was at an age filled with dreams, ambitions, and countless possibilities.
