Three Family Members Killed in Kerr County DUI Crash

Three motorcyclists—Courtney Cortez, Cody Cortez, and Daniel Cortez Jr.—were killed and a fourth passenger critically injured in Kerr County, Texas, after a gray Toyota SUV driven by Jeremy Wasson, 25, of San Antonio, crossed into oncoming traffic and struck them head-on. The crash occurred around 5 p.m. on State Highway 27 at Bluff Creek Road. All three motorcyclists, who were family members, died at the scene, while the injured passenger was airlifted to a San Antonio hospital. Wasson was arrested at the scene, charged with three counts of intoxication manslaughter and one count of intoxication assault, and later released from Kerr County Jail on $350,000 bail. Authorities are continuing to investigate Wasson's blood-alcohol content. The same evening, a similar fatal DUI crash occurred in Merced, California.
