The crash happened in April 2019 in Kyle at the intersection of I-35 and Windy Hill Road. Officials at the time said Hernandez drove his Dodge pickup truck and hit a Honda sedan with a family of five inside.

Sisters Hayden Weissman, 18, and Peyton Weissman, 16, died at the scene. Another sister, their dad and his girlfriend were also in the car. They were taken to the hospital afterward. The family was from Frisco in north Texas.

Hernandez was found and arrested after he ran away from the scene of the crash, officials said.

A sentencing hearing was originally scheduled for May but got delayed because the judge presiding over the trial was unavailable due to another ongoing trial. The sentencing happened June 22.
