Yanel was transported to a San Antonio hospital on Tuesday, November 12 after she and her sister crashed into the back of an 18 wheeler truck in an area along S. 277 Highway in Maverick County.
Yanel is expected to have a full recovery from her injuries but now has to deal with her sister's death. 18 year old Isel Garza died from her injuries after she was taken to the Fort Duncan Regional Medical Centers Emergency Room for treatment.
“She was a beautiful soul and had an amazing laugh and I miss her every minute of the day,” said Yanel.
Yanel and her sister Isel both 18 years old and twins were driving a 2014 Chevrolet Envoy when they struck an 18 wheeler truck from behind at a high rate of speed.
