The crash victim was identified as Jacqueline Carmona, 20, who died as a result of injuries sustained in this crash.

A witness told deputies that Munoz was driving west on George O’Neal Road when he turned left onto Jones Creek Road while running a red light.

Carmona was a passenger in the second vehicle involved in this crash. That vehicle was heading east on Coursey Boulevard when it hit Munoz’s vehicle on the passenger side at the intersection of Jones Creek Road, EBRSO said.

Carmona was extracted from the vehicle by firefighters and taken to the hospital. According to EBRSO, that is where she was pronounced dead.

The drivers of both vehicles took voluntary intoxilyzer tests, and the BAC for Munoz came back at 0.06%. He was unable to complete a standardized field sobriety test due to injuries.

The investigation remains ongoing, and more charges are possible in this case.
