Police have identified a Northeast man who was killed in a car accident after he lost control of his vehicle and was thrown out the driver’s side window.
According to a statement released by the El Paso police department, 20 year-old Antonio Mondragon was killed in the 14000 block of McCombs Street shortly after 12:30 a.m. Monday. Police say his car rolled over several times after he lost control of it at a high rate of speed, drove onto the left shoulder, and onto a dirt berm.
Mondragon was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash, police say. He was transported by ambulance to University Medical Center of El Paso where he later died of his injuries. Mondragon’s front seat passenger, 19 year-old Lyzette Duron, sustained injuries that were not considered life-threatening.
Police say they suspect alcohol was a factor in the crash, and are awaiting toxicology reports.
