SAN ANTONIO -- A father and his 3-year-old son died after they and two other family members were hit by a car on the Northeast Side Thursday afternoon.

Jose Beltan was hit from behind and killed on impact. Both boys were taken to University Hospital. Eli died of his injuries a short time later. Adrian, who suffered several broken bones, remains in critical condition.
Vergara, who is 8 months pregnant, was taken to San Antonio Military Medical Center (SAMMC). News 4 WOAI was told her water broke at the accident scene, and she is expected to give birth early within the next few days.
