Irma Moreno Dead, German Duarte Arrested after El Paso Hit-and-Run

 
EL PASO, TX (January 14, 2025) — A 64-year-old woman identified as Irma Moreno died in a hit-and-run last month on December 5.
 
According to the El Paso Police Department, the accident took place on the 7300 block of North Loop Drive, near Hawkins Boulevard at about 10:00 p.m.
 
El Paso Police said 30-year-old German Duarte, of El Paso, drove a 2006 Chevy Trailblazer at a high rate of speed down North Loop Drive. Then the SUV crashed into a white 2000 Toyota Corolla driven by Moreno making a U-turn.
 
As a result of the accident, the impact ejected Moreno from her vehicle. Right after the collision, paramedics brought Moreno to the hospital, where she later succumbed to her injuries.
 
El Paso Police believe Duarte climbed out of his SUV and fled on foot. Two weeks later, on December 19, the police finally arrested him. They then charged him with collision involving death.
 
Investigators came to the conclusion that two factors caused the accident. One of them was Duarte’s alleged speeding. The other one was Moreno’s alleged failure to yield to oncoming traffic while she made a U-turn.
