On September 16, 2025, 16-year-old Jose Flores III was struck by a truck while crossing the street in a marked crosswalk near his high school in San Antonio, Texas. The accident occurred around 1:53 pm local time, and Flores was left in critical condition.
Sadly, Flores succumbed to his injuries on October 11, 2025, less than a month after the incident. The driver of the gray Ford F-150 truck, a 33-year-old man, immediately stopped at the scene and cooperated fully with the police investigation.
Flores' parents, Jose Flores Jr. and Amanda Saucedo, are now grieving the loss of their beloved son, who they described as "so caring and so helpful." The family had hoped Flores would one day fulfill his dream of becoming a firefighter, but that future was tragically cut short.
In the aftermath of the accident, the Flores family is urging all drivers to be extra cautious, especially around schools and crosswalks, to prevent such heartbreaking tragedies from occurring.
