The two victims who died in the crash on Texas 71 east of Spicewood Monday, Nov. 28, were Cynthia Ann Vega, age 46, and her son, Santiago Vega, age 17, both from Marble Falls.
A funeral service will be held for the mother and son at Celements-Wilcox Funeral Home in Marble Falls Friday, Dec. 2, at 4 p.m., followed by a rosary service at 6 p.m. On Thursday, however, friends and family gathered at the site of the crash to memorialize them. Balloons were released into the skies over the rolling hills where they died.
Unable to attend was Justino Rodriguez, age 50 and also of Marble Falls, who was a passenger with the Vegas.
He was airlifted from the scene Monday and remains in University Medical Center Brackenridge, as does Bala Chandra Sekhar Gutti, 29, of Richardson, driver of the 2015 Subaru that first collided with the Vegas' 2015 Ford Focus.
