An Edinburg man who survived a crash that killed one other man near Alice said he’s counting his blessings.

“I believe in God, and more than anything I know I will pull through this eventually,” Brian Cisneros said. “Right now I am just blessed to be alive, and God gave me a second chance to be alive."

Cisneros has been hospitalized in Corpus Christi following the Nov. 29 crash on northbound U.S. 281 near Alice.

As previously reported, the Texas Department of Public Safety said a 1999 Toyota Solara was “driving recklessly” when it crashed into the 2019 GMC Sierra driven by Cisneros.

Lee Roy Rodriguez, a 51-year-old man from McAllen, was identified as the driver of the Toyota vehicle. Rodriguez’s vehicle caught fire with him inside it, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
