SAN ANTONIO \u2013 A San Antonio man was sentenced to 10 years in prison in connection with a 2024 crash that killed his passenger, according to court records.<\/p>\n
Jose Luis Ibarra, 25, was convicted of intoxication manslaughter after authorities said he was driving 116 mph while intoxicated before crashing into the back of a pickup truck in the 500 block of Historic Old Highway 90.<\/p>\n
San Antonio police said Ibarra was driving a black 2023 Dodge Charger northeast bound on the road on June 28, 2024, when it struck the rear of a 1999 Ford F-350. The Charger caught fire after the crash.<\/p>\n
The passenger, identified as Alexandra Jasmine Vargas, suffered burns and broken bones. She was taken to a hospital, where she later died from her injuries.<\/p>\n
According to court documents, Ibarra told an officer he was driving at a high rate of speed when the truck stopped in front of him. Investigators said no skid marks or steering-input markings showed an attempt to avoid the crash.<\/p>\n
A blood test taken after the crash showed Ibarra had a blood-alcohol concentration of 0.166, more than twice the legal limit, according to an arrest affidavit. Data from the Charger\u2019s airbag control module showed the accelerator was fully depressed up to a half-second before impact and that the vehicle was traveling 116 mph.<\/p>\n
