Angel Anthony Dominguez was among five killed in a tragic Sabine Pass, Texas crash as loved ones raise support for funeral expenses.
A tragic highway collision in Sabine Pass, Texas, has left multiple families grieving after five people lost their lives in a crash involving a passenger van and a bus on State Highway 87. Among those killed was 28-year-old Angel Anthony Dominguez of Baytown, whose loved ones are now raising funds to help cover funeral and burial expenses following the devastating accident.
According to the Texas Department of Public Safety, the crash occurred around 3:50 p.m. Monday when a Chevrolet Express passenger van traveling northwest crossed into the oncoming lane and collided with a southeastbound Hotard passenger bus. Authorities said the impact forced the van into a ditch, while an Audi traveling behind the bus also became involved after striking the rear of the bus during the aftermath of the collision.
Officials identified Angel Dominguez among four people who died at the scene alongside Emmanuel Reynosa Rivas, Osvaldo Alvarez, and driver Cesar Rojas. Several additional passengers from the van were transported to Christus St. Elizabeth Hospital in Beaumont with critical injuries. Authorities later confirmed that 22-year-old Caleb Burge died from his injuries on Wednesday, bringing the total number of fatalities to five.
Family members said the men were refinery workers returning home from a job assignment when the deadly collision occurred. In an emotional public message, Angel’s brother described witnessing the aftermath from a vehicle traveling behind the van and rushing toward the crash scene as emergency responders attempted to reach those trapped inside the heavily damaged vehicle.
Loved ones remember Angel Dominguez as a joyful and energetic person who deeply valued family and friendships. A fundraiser created in his memory describes him as someone who loved making people laugh, hosting family gatherings, enjoying movies with relatives, and spending time with those closest to him whenever possible.
Relatives also shared that Angel had many personal interests and future dreams, including a strong appreciation for martial arts, anime, video games, and travel. According to the fundraiser, he hoped to one day visit Tokyo and was especially known for bringing family members together for meals and celebrations that created lasting memories for everyone around him.
