 Gilbert band member killed in crash on way to parade
Mesa police say an impaired driver triggered a crash early Saturday
that killed a 16-year-old girl and injured her 17-year-old brother as
they drove to a school band event.
Manuel Contreras-Galdean, 32, was arrested and booked into a
Maricopa County jail on suspicion of manslaughter and aggravated
assault.
Authorities also placed an immigration hold on him after it was determined that he is in the country illegally.
Police said Contreras-Galdean was at the wheel of a red Dodge Ram about
6:30 a.m. when he turned left in front of a Nissan Sentra carrying the
teens.

Their collision at Guadalupe and Sossaman roads was nearly head-on, according to Sgt. Ed Wessing, a Mesa police spokesman.
Kelly Tracy suffered massive head trauma and injuries to both legs in
the crash. Her brother Matthew, the driver, had non-life-threatening
injuries.
The siblings were on their way to perform in the Gilbert Days
Parade. Band members and parents confirmed they were students at
Highland High School.
Jay Thompson, whose daughter Lauren is a freshman in the band, said he
and his wife, Francy, arrived at the school Saturday morning to
volunteer.
Upon hearing the news, band officials opted to pull out of the parade in downtown Gilbert.
"There was just shock and grief and sadness . . . it was just horrible," Thompson said. "We just all cried and hugged."
Thompson, who wrote about the incident on a blog, said they were
initially told Tracy was in critical condition. The school's principal
later informed them of her death.
Mesa police said she died in the operating room.
Hayden Horsman, a freshman band member at the high school, said students were devastated.
"They were amazed that something could happen to somebody our age,"
said Hayden, 14. "So many people were crying. It was hard to comfort
and help all those people."
