Driver in Double Fatal Still Unknown
posted (August 23, 2018)

One month later, Police still can’t confirm who the driver was in the fatal San Antonio road accident that claimed the life of two brothers: Jaime and Anthony Archer. Here is what police had to say.

ACP Joseph Myvett - Head, NCIB
"We can say that both persons were released from the hospital however upon visiting the families, Mr. Romero can’t speak and he can’t see at this point in time so we are unable to ascertain who the driver was however our investigation have led us to say that Mr. Romero had called his sister, one Kenisha Romero on the date in question in order to borrow her vehicle. As a result the vehicle was given to him by another family member who was at the home, so he was the person who had left the home driving the said vehicle that was involved in the said fatal road traffic accident."

Reporter
"With that being said, I don’t know if this is off or on the record, that being said, is it sufficient to surmise that he would have been the driver of the vehicle since it was handed over to his custody?"

ACP Joseph Myvett
"No because the police is obviously gathering other information that has not yet been recorded in statements to say that it may or may not have been another driver at the time of the accident."

As you heard, the other two occupants have been released from the hospital.
