Mother of teen killed by truck wants answers

SMITH COUNTY, TX (KLTV) - Patricia Gutierrez just lost her 15-year-old son, Martin. Authorities say while on his bike, he darted in front of a sanitation truck. His mother is having a difficult time accepting that answer.

"I just don't want my son darted out in front of a truck and I'm at the scene of the tragic accident and it doesn't make no sense," she said. "He's in the middle."

DPS says they're investigating the crash. Martin lived in San Antonio with his mother. He was visiting his father when he decided to take a bike ride.

"Sweetest boy in the world you know. Has a very big heart," she said. "You know he's always there for everybody with  a smile on his face. I just, I want to know please. I need answers. That's just all I want."

Martin's mother wants to talk to witnesses and the driver of that sanitation truck. She wants to know everything about her sound's death.

"I was five months pregnant when I had him and he fought from bleeding in the brain to lungs collapsing to you name it, he overcame all of that, and for him to be taken away from me in a matter of seconds doesn't make sense," she said. "I just really need to know, please."

It's a mother's last wish to know exactly what happened to her only son.
