Community members coming together to honor the victims of the tragic car crash.
A devastating car crash on January 26 claimed the lives of two men in San Antonio. The collision involved a black pickup truck driving the wrong way on U.S. Highway 90. As the investigation continues, the community mourns the loss of Dominic Belmonte and Thomas Cuellar, highlighting the urgent need for road safety and the dangers of impaired driving.
A quiet Sunday morning turned into a scene of sorrow in San Antonio as a devastating car crash claimed the lives of two men. The incident occurred on January 26 at approximately 5:05 a.m. on U.S. Highway 90, causing heartbreak for friends and family of the victims.
Reports indicate that a black pickup truck was driving east in the westbound lanes when it collided with a grey SUV. The tragedy unfolded quickly, and both drivers—Dominic Belmonte, aged 44, and Thomas Cuellar, 43—died at the scene due to the severity of their injuries.
The San Antonio Police Department is looking into the circumstances surrounding the wreck. At the moment, authorities are treating the case as potential intoxication manslaughter, although the investigation is ongoing. Details surrounding Cuellar’s actions before the crash remain under scrutiny as investigators piece together the moments leading up to the fatal impact.
After the horrific collision, the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office stepped in to confirm the identities of the victims. Belmonte’s family had to endure the painful process of identification, relying on dental records to confirm his identity. The trauma of any sudden loss is compounded when it involves such tragic circumstances.
Dominic Belmonte was not just a driver in a tragic accident; he was a cherished family member and a devoted father. Described as a man with a big heart and a great sense of humor, he leaves behind a grieving family—a wife, three children, and another baby on the way. Belmonte worked as a hazmat and fuel tank driver and tragically was just minutes away from home when the devastating accident unfolded. His sister, Candice Mossberg, is now stepping up to ensure his family is supported during this challenging time, launching a fundraising effort to help them navigate through this dark chapter.
The shockwaves of such sudden loss are felt across the community. Friends, neighbors, and colleagues of Belmonte are rallying together, offering prayers and support for his family, reminding everyone of the importance of community in times of need. The tragedy highlights the fragility of life and how quickly it can be taken away.
This unfortunate incident raises pressing questions about road safety, especially concerning impaired driving. Authorities urge everyone to remain vigilant and aware on the road and to refrain from driving under the influence. Every choice behind the wheel could be a matter of life and death, and it is a shared responsibility to keep the roads safe for all.
As the community grapples with this profound loss, the focus will inevitably shift towards healing and remembrance. With every candle lit and every shared story, Dominic Belmonte is likely to be remembered fondly, not only as a husband, a father, and a friend, but as a man who brought joy and laughter to those around him. The love and support he cultivated will continue to shine brightly in the hearts of those who knew him.
