“Le voy llamar a la policía” If you are filled with instant panic whenever you see a police officer or a police car, it’s likely because your parents said they’ll call the cops to come take you away and put you in jail if you misbehaved. Some gaucho parents probably went so far as to have a police officer go along with pretending to arrest you if you were especially necio. Photo via Shutterstock Credit: Shutterstock

A local man is dead after being stuck by a vehicle early Sunday morning.

Police said Victor Mancha was leaving the R&J Saloon just after 2 a.m. Sunday when he and two other individuals decided to order from a taco truck across the street.

A wrong-way driver heading north in a southbound lane on South Flores reportedly struck Mancha. The 53-year-old victim was reportedly transported to Brooke Army Medical Center with life-threatening injuries.

Mancha later died at the hospital.

Police at the scene said the driver stopped nearby and was held for questioning and given a field sobriety test. KSAT reports the driver was not intoxicated and won’t be facing charges.
