WACO (November 24, 2009)—Lucio Ruiz, 23, of Hewitt, who was named in warrants charging intoxicated manslaughter in a late-night crash in October that claimed the lives of two brothers, turned himself in to Waco police Tuesday.

Lawrence Torres, 25, of Waco and his brother Jerry Torres, 31, of Bellmead died in the Oct. 25 crash at the intersection of North 27th Street and West Waco Drive.

Initially, police said, Lawrence Torres was driving north on North 27th Street in a half-ton pickup truck when he failed to yield the right of way to the eastbound three-quarter ton pickup truck that Ruiz was driving.

But police said Tuesday Ruiz ran a red light at North 29th Street and West Waco Drive “at a high rate of speed and continued traveling eastbound.”

The pickup hit the truck in which the Torres brothers were riding on the driver’s side door when Lawrence Torres pulled out in front of Ruiz.

Lawrence Torres died at the scene.

His brother died en route to Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center.

Ruiz was taken to Hillcrest with what police said were incapacitating injuries.
