In a heart-wrenching incident that occurred in 2021, bodycam footage from the Pharr Police Department captures the devastating aftermath of a deadly drunken crash that claimed the life of a 16-year-old and left a 12-year-old injured. The video reveals the scene as officers arrived at a family’s apartment, where an intoxicated driver, identified as 22-year-old Jesus Cruz, had recklessly slammed his car into the building. The impact of the collision was so severe that it took the life of a teenage victim who was sleeping inside the apartment at the time, and left another child with serious injuries.

The bodycam footage provides a chilling glimpse into the immediate aftermath of the tragedy, as a heavily intoxicated Jesus Cruz struggles to perform sobriety tests and coherently explain the events that led to the crash. A Texas judge handed down a 20-year prison sentence to Cruz after he pleaded guilty to charges of DWI with death and serious bodily injury.

Brain dead. IQ=35
90% of this video is blurred or blacked out.
20 years is too littls
Im on the edge of my seat. This was a total waste of time. I've seen paint drying that held more interest than this.
Why is that innocent people die but the drunk gets away without a scratch
Certain people don't need a license
Not for nothing, but if that cop says "Watch the tip of my pen.", I'm dropping to the ground!
Making mama proud!
He's a hammered adult, not a hammered man.
He only got 15 and will be out on. Parole in 3
Love and prayers for the victims.
Drunk drivers are the lowest form of life, next to druggies
I hate this loser so much. He killed a kid while driving drunk and he still wants to act like he’s the victim
Why is half the video blurred? Why even bother posting it at that point? 👎ðŸÂ¼ for me.
Sadly, there are 10,000,000 more just like him every weekend night on the road in our country
This man wasn’t in pain or hurting for the victims, he was hurting because he got caught.
Just arrest him it’s obvious he’s drunk
he’s so unaware of what’s happening . So sad.
Driver is 22 !?
He got 15 years for manslaughter
Love the cops and am right wing, but if my well being costs $5,000, yeah…. I'd feel the same way.
Sir you are a poor excuse for a human being he should have got longer than 20 years
Why is everybody talking about a baby, its a teen right?
Every hour in America, this same story happens. When I hear people say "it's just drunk driving" I cringe inside.
Why do you keep blocking nothing ????
He was drunk but I completely disagree with police dui tests. They are designed for the officers to make small things seem huge. Also you cannot take gaze nystagmus on a person with a head injury.
His arrogance toward the officer, trying to make sure he’s OK… 🙄😡
This makes my blood boil. I'm literally shaking with anger as I watch this. It's infuriating that so many people still choose to drive drunk knowing it puts other's in danger. Disgusting.
rip
Costs too much to go to the hospital. Said he has no money.
Why give the guy a test. You know he can’t pass.
Of course this pos doesn't care about his own well-being or that of others. He poses a huge threat to society.
Don't drop the soap.. it will definitely hurt you a lot more. 🧼 Definitely should have been life in prison.
Total blurr
Poor Teen never even got a chance life is so unfair however who am I to say anything 4 all i know the teen may have been on the wrong path and would have hurt many people and this was fate life is still a mystery to me I mean kids get cancer and they never smoke drink booze 🤷â€Â♂
Please tell me that chainsaw wasn’t needed for this??
I don’t think that’s a real cop. He is so clueless and uncomfortable even for a rook.
That cop should be fired too. I get the dude crashed and killed someone but he should of been seen by paramedics after he said his head hurt multiple times
The cop also never read him his rights when he arrested him
Everything is blurred. What r we looking at?
Only 20 years?! That judge should be sharing the same jail cell!
