Adrian Dominguez Killed in East El Paso Three-Vehicle Crash on Gateway East and Giles

El Paso, Texas – The man who was killed Saturday evening in a three-vehicle crash in East El Paso has been identified as 42-year-old Adrian Dominguez, according to the police.

The fatal crash happened just after 6:45 p.m., February 17, in the 7700 block of Gateway East and Giles.

Police said Dominguez was driving a VW bug eastbound on the turn left only lane on Gateway East and had a red light while a 24-year-old man was driving his Dodge Charger southbound on Giles and had a green light.

The Charger t-boned the VW bug at the intersection pushing it towards an Expedition that was stopped at the red light.

Dominguez was taken to a local hospital with serious injuries where he later died.

Investigators said disregard for a red light was the main contributor to the crash.

The police are investigating the crash.
