Bexar County, TX — November 19, 2025, Julie Garay and two others were injured in a car accident shortly after 9:00 a.m. along Southwest Military Drive.

According to authorities, 34-year-old Julie Garay was traveling in a northbound Toyota Camry on Logwood Avenue at the SW Military Drive intersection when the accident took place.

Officials indicate that, for reasons yet to be confirmed, a Jeep Wrangler occupied by an 18-year-old woman was involved in a collision with the Camry and a northbound Ford F-150 occupied by a 60-year-old man. The wreck was allegedly caused by driver inattention on the part of the teen.

Garay reportedly sustained serious injuries over the course of the accident. The man from the pickup truck and the teen from the Jeep suffered minor injuries, as well, according to reports.

Additional details pertaining to this incident are not available at this point in time. The investigation is currently ongoing.

When multiple vehicles are involved in a crash that leaves one person seriously hurt, it’s easy to latch onto an initial explanation like “driver inattention.” But without a complete understanding of how the collision unfolded—from the first point of contact to the final vehicle positions—there’s no way to know if that explanation actually holds up. The deeper questions are the ones that often bring the truth to light.

1. Did the authorities thoroughly investigate the crash?

With three vehicles involved and one driver seriously injured, it’s essential to map out the crash with precision. Did investigators determine which vehicle was struck first, and how that led to the others being involved? Were any evasive actions attempted, and were they effective? The claim of inattention might be accurate, but it still needs to be backed by physical evidence like impact angles, braking marks, and timing. A rushed or surface-level scene review can leave major gaps in understanding.

2. Has anyone looked into the possibility that a vehicle defect caused the crash?

If the teen driver was distracted, that doesn’t rule out mechanical failure—especially in a crash that involved multiple vehicles. Could the Jeep’s brakes have underperformed? Were any stability systems offline? Did any unexpected mechanical issue—steering, tires, or drivetrain—affect the Wrangler’s path? And what about the Camry or the F-150—did they respond as expected during evasive maneuvers? A full mechanical review of all vehicles should be standard in cases where injuries are involved and fault isn’t yet fully proven.

3. Has all the electronic data relating to the crash been collected?

The Wrangler, Camry, and F-150 likely each carry event data recorders that could clarify what happened. Did the teen driver brake too late or not at all? Did the Camry or F-150 make any last-second steering or speed adjustments? And if there’s any traffic camera or dashcam footage, that could provide a visual timeline that confirms—or challenges—initial assumptions. These systems record more than just numbers; they reveal behavior in the critical few seconds when the crash became unavoidable.

When someone is seriously hurt in a multi-vehicle crash, the full story doesn't come from the most obvious explanation—it comes from asking what’s missing. And in cases like this, that often starts with examining what the vehicles themselves have to say.

Takeaways:

• Multi-vehicle collisions require careful scene reconstruction to confirm the sequence of impacts.
• Mechanical issues in any vehicle may play a role and should be investigated alongside driver behavior.
• Vehicle telemetry and possible camera footage can clarify driver actions and vehicle performance in the moments before impact.
