The girl’s family members were identified as Albertin Olvera Gonzalez, 39, the driver of one of the vehicles, Nancy Olvera Gonzalez, 44, and three children, including two boys aged 8 and 17, and a six-year-old girl.
PEOPLE reports that the car crash involved a vehicle that was traveling north that veered into a southbound lane and crashed into the Olvera Gonzalez’s car.
The 12-year-old girl was transported to University Hospital in San Antonio and remains in a critical condition.
The family members were identified by Hector Daniel Jaimes, 25, who is the family’s eldest child and had stayed at home the day of the accident.
He’s been providing updates for friends and family on his mother’s Facebook page, including updates on the health of his sister, who’s named Mia.
“As for my sister Mia she’s doing great,” he wrote.
“Thank the doctors and nurses that are working around the clock to help with her recovery.
“More updates on her to follow.”
Jaimes also posted a GoFundMe campaign where he shared the news of the accident and some of the help he needed in the coming months.
“I don’t know where my family was heading, but I saw them right before they left that day,” wrote Jaimes.
“At around 6:02 PM I found out that my mom had crashed, and an app called Life360 notified me through text message of the crash.
“I didn’t wake up until around 8 PM.
“I heard the front door gate being opened and I went outside to see if my family had arrived back from their trip.
“When I went outside I saw a state trooper police offer.
“That’s when I heard of what happened to my family.”
Jaimes also shared that he would now be taking care of his 12-year-old sister and needed support.
“Please whoever is seeing this I need all the assistance that I can get,” he wrote.
As of this writing, $39,605 have been raised for Jaimes’ GoFundMe campaign.
