SAN ANTONIO – A tragic racing incident in San Antonio has left a family grieving and a young man facing the consequences of his actions. Andrew Gomez, just 22 years old, was driving home from work when his life was cut short by a reckless act of racing.
Mohammed Hasan, engaged in a race with another vehicle on the road, caused a head-on collision with Gomez’s car, resulting in his untimely death. The impact of this incident cannot be understated, as Hasan’s actions have had far-reaching consequences.
Charged with serious felonies including racing on a highway resulting in death, intoxication manslaughter, and manslaughter, Hasan faced the weight of his actions in court. Ultimately, after a plea deal, Hasan was sentenced to 10 years in prison for the racing charge.
