A man died after a three-vehicle crash in San Benito Saturday night.

The crash happened at about 10:30 p.m. at the intersection of Bonner Street and Business 77, according to David Favila, a spokesperson for the city of San Benito.

Officials say the driver of a red Mitsubishi Lancer rear-ended a Jeep Grand Cherokee. The impact of the crash pushed the Jeep forward, causing it to collide into a Chevy Traverse.

Gallegos was taken to Valley Baptist Medical Center, where he died from his injuries. 

The other people involved in the crash were evaluated for non-life threatening injuries. 

The crash remains under investigation.
