Shirlene Hernandez's carjacker escaped in her car, but didn't get very far before crashing the vehicle on an interstate.
A Texas carjacker is dead after he brutally beat up a grandmother and stole her car, only to fatally crash the vehicle a short time later.
Shirlene Hernandez, 72, was on her way to work April 12 and stopped at a Shell gas station in San Antonio to buy a Diet Coke, reports Local 12 News.
As she was walking inside, a man grabbed her and punched her several times in the face in a tussle to take her keys away.
Three men attempted to stop the assailant, but he managed to escape their grasp and flee in Hernandez’s car.
The suspect didn’t get far, however. Investigators told local media that the car was found a short time later, totalled on a nearby interstate. The carjacker was dead inside the vehicle.
Hernandez, although a bit roughed up, says she doesn’t hold bad feelings toward her attacker and was sad to learn he had been killed in the crash.
“There’s a lot of people who would say what goes around comes around, karma. I did not think that; the only thing I got (was) really sad because he had died,” Hernandez told WCAX3.
“Now granted, he had hurt me, but the Lord saw fit to take him out of his misery.”
