Police in San Antonio, Texas are asking the public for help in identifying a car that was involved in a fatal street racing incident. We know the image shared is fuzzy, but we also know there’s likely someone reading this article who knows about this particular car.

According to witnesses, the red pixelated blob shown in the picture is a Honda Civic, which the dimensions square with. You can see there’s a nice tall rear wing and vents behind the front wheels. Witnesses told police it’s a Type R and from the details we can see in the fuzzy image, it indeed looks like it is.
Back on May 21 at about 12:15 pm the suspect was in this red Honda Civic when he raced 32-year-old Arnulfo Ernesto Hernandez Jr. on the 500 block of IH 10 East in San Antonio, reports News4 San Antonio.
During the illegal street race, Hernandez lost control of his car and crashed at a high speed. He was fatally injured. We don’t know what kind of car Hernandez was driving or anything about how he crashed, other than he lost control at high speed, hit a guardrail, and wasn’t wearing a seatbelt.
This fatal crash serves as a great reminder that street racing can come with severe consequences. Maybe you’ve done it a bunch of times and nothing bad has happened, but you’re flirting with disaster and one day you might get bit.
Honda Civic Type Rs aren’t exactly common, but they’re also not incredibly rare. There are over 20,000 in the United States. Out of those, not all are going to be red and even fewer are red and registered in the state of Texas.
Still, that could be hundreds of cars. We can’t believe nobody caught the street race on their dashcam or saw the plate on the Honda. Someone has to know what happened.
If anyone has information about the red Honda Civic or the person who was driving it, contact San Antonio Crime Stoppers at (210) 224-7867. You may receive up to $5,000 as a reward for information leading to an arrest.
