A spectacular MVA occurred on the intersection of Quarry and Pierce Streets near the downtown area of Eagle Pass which left one vehicle overturned from the force of the impact and left two women in need of serious medical attention.

A Chevy Cobalt, red in color, may have attempted to cross Quarry when a Pontiac Grand Prix, silver in color, drove right into the passenger's side door of the Chevy at a relatively high rate of speed causing the Cobalt to not only spin in a 180° turn and ended up on its side on the other side of Pierce in what must have been a violent collision.

Two ambulances transported the victims to the hospital.

According to the report, the driver of the Pontiac was Sandra Rodriguez of the Loma Bonita sector of the city.  Rodriguez was driving down Quarry when the driver of the Chevy identified as Jocelyn Martinez, 19, crossed into the path of the other car.  The cars crashed and the Chevy was thrown 10-20 feet from the street landing on Pierce in an inverted position.

The Eagle Pass Police Department informed The News Gram that the accident remains under investigation.
