CAN YOU HELP?
If you have information regarding the below referenced incident, please leave a comment as this may prove instrumental in helping the victims and their families should a legal case come to fruition.
Most people will never know how many accident victims and their families have been helped by a selfless witness who came forward to provide evidence about an incident. Additionally, if you are aware of any prior incident or accident involving the same defendant that is referenced below, please leave a comment.
It is very common, that an employer, trucking company, etc. that acts negligently in their day to day operations will cause accidents year after year. It is critical for the family members of these accident victims, and the lawyers that represent these families, to be aware of such prior incidents.
The information you provide will remain confidential and just may help a victim or their family find justice.

UPDATE!!!
The victims of the accident have been identified as 15-tear-old Ariel Solis, known as Nathaniel, and 13-year-old Robert Ruiz. The driver of the car, 15-year-old Michael Tucker, was charged with failure to stop and render aid after fleeing the scene. Police have not commented on who the vehicle belonged to other than to say that the vehicle did not belong to a family member.
Story as it was originally posted:
On April 20, 2008 a group of teenagers were driving around 2:30 AM in Austin, TX. when the driver of the car lost control and crashed into a concrete retaining wall.
Two of the teenage passngers in the car died at the scene and a third was taken to a local hospital with life threatening injuries. The 15-year-old driver of the car seems to have left the scene and was arrested for failure to stop and render aid.
The teens were driving westbound on Avery Ranch Road when they left the roadway near the intersection at Loxley. The Chrysler Sebring they were traveling in struck the wall with such force that pieces of the concrete wall broke free and were deposited several feet away on the other side.
The accicdent is still under investigation by the Austin PD Vehicular Homicide Unit.

Nickie said:
Hey, Katherine. If you knew 'every person that was involved in this accident' then why didn't you say anything about Natanael our the 17 year old that was hurt? Did they not mean anything to you?! I only knew Natanael but I feel awful for the friends and families of they other kids involved. May everyone connected to this tragedy find peace.

Robert Ruiz said:
My name is Robert Ruiz and I'm the father of one of the young men that was killed on that Passover morning. The first thing that I would like to say is I'm so sorry for the loss of your son, your brother, your cousin and your friend Ariel, and the pain that come from losing a loved one. I didn't know Natanael, but it is very obvious that he touched many souls and was loved by many. My son Robert was another special soul and for some reason Ariel and Robert went to heaven together. The lord has plans for these two young men and one day we will understand why. Son I love you and miss you so much it hurts, when I think of all the things that we will miss together as a father and a son, because I lost you that morning 4/20/08, and I pray that you find peace and happiness in Heaven. Son you were the greatest thing that ever happened to me and I'm a better person because you touched my heart so many times in so many ways. Ariel, God bless you son, and look out for my boy and bless your friends and family, because they miss you so much. It's a blessing to know that you are with my son. God Bless you my son and hold on to the love we shared and I will see you one day, but not yet. Your Grieving Father Robert Ruiz
