“I've just frozen,” said Jillian de Haro, a friend of the eldest daughter, Veronica Denise.

De Haro received a call from an unknown number on Saturday, but did not answer. She did not notice that it was state troops that tried to achieve them. Only when she came home did she get the news.

“Anything I remember said my mother as soon as I put on how I put on: 'What's going on?' Because I started crying. I say the friendship of a life. “

According to the Texas Ministry of Public Security, both vehicles have caught fire.

“It is just, my heart tears because I know that they earn it better,” said de Haro. “That shouldn't happen to them. They were a very close family.”

The Toriano was taken to the hospital with serious injuries.

The investigators have not yet released what caused the crash.
