At 5:19 p.m. yesterday, San Angelo Police responded to a traffic crash in the 3100 block of Woodlawn where the driver of a 2006 Ford Explorer, Maria Martin de Bravo, 41, of San Angelo, collided with an 8-year-old boy on a scooter.
Sgt. Cade Solsbery, public information officer for SAPD, identified the child as Zachary Cano. After the call, officers arrived on scene quickly and began to render aid to the child until San Angelo Fire Department personnel arrived and took over. Zachary was transported to Shannon Hospital for incapacitating injuries. He succumbed to his injuries at 6 p.m. and was pronounced deceased by Justice of the Peace McGuire.
Solsbery added that Officer Josh Loudermilk and Sgt. Todd Dornhecker with the Traffic Division, along with Detective Chris Soto and Sgt. Dennis McGuire with the Criminal Investigation Division, responded to investigate the crash.
Through the investigation, officers learned Bravo was driving west on Woodlawn. She was driving into the sun and did not see that Zachary had entered the roadway on his scooter. Solsbery stated once more that there were no signs of intoxication, and speed is not believed to be a factor in the crash. Bravo did not receive any citations, nor are there pending charges in this crash.
