Was the Brownsville Crash Intentional? Police Investigate Motive Behind Fatal Accident

Questions remain over the motive behind the fatal accident that occurred in Brownsville on Sunday, resulting in the death of eight people and 10 others being seriously injured. George Alvarez, 34, has been charged with eight counts of manslaughter and 10 counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after his SUV hit a bus stop outside a migrant center. Police say he lost control when he ran a red light. Although toxicology reports are pending, police are investigating the possibility of intoxication as a cause of the accident. Witness statements have suggested that Alvarez was also cursing at the victims before the collision, but the authorities are not confirming this at this stage. Austinites will hold a vigil at the Capitol's south steps on Monday night, calling for an end to policies that dehumanize immigrants. It follows similar vigils in Brownsville earlier today, which saw local community members come together to remember those involved.
