The Maverick County Sheriff Department, Eagle Pass Fire Department and other law enforcement agencies responded to an area along Old Pioneer and Old Oro Roads in reference to a possible brush fire early Sunday morning.
Upon arrival to the scene reported, Deputies sprang into action when it was determined that the cause of the fire was in fact a motor vehicle that had crashed into a pole and was fully engulfed in flames.
The gentleman was pulled from the car by Mr. Jose L. Gardea who also suffered burns.
The male was later identified as 29-year-old Vince Ibarra who suffered burns two his lower extremities, back, torso and face and cuts as well.
Mr. Ibarra was later taken to a San Antonio Trauma 1 hospital for further treatment.
Sheriff Department officials are considering the possibilities that this vehicle could have been involved in a domestic disturbance incident minutes earlier.
Prayers are with Mr. Ibarra and his family.
