What started out as a flat tire ended in a deadly crash that has shattered a North Texas family.

His family said Silvano Ornelas, Jr., was on his way to work Wednesday morning when he got a flat tire around 5:45 a.m. near Highway 360 and Trinity Boulevard in Fort Worth.They said he pulled over, put his hazards on, and called his brother, then his wife to bring his tools.

“She said like just in the blink of an eye, this car slams behind my brother’s truck and that’s what happened: My brother, my sister-in-law thrown, she couldn’t even walk. She was trying to drag herself to my brother to see. She said his eyes were open, he gave his last breath," said Nery Ornelas, Junior's older sister.“She did see the way he was laying there, his work boots, and the cover over his body," Ornelas said, crying."She was like, ‘He’s gone, he’s gone.

Usually, Ornelas said"Junior" is the one who takes care of everyone, and it's why she always called him her big brother, despite being younger than her. “If you’re stranded, he’ll—it doesn’t matter if you’re at the end of the world, he’ll get to you," Ornelas said.“He was singing, we were having a good time there that day," she said.
