Material uncertainties and editorial notes: The exact date of the crash is established as August 7, 2019 (Wednesday) per WSOTV and consistent with ABC7 publication date of August 8, 2019; one source reference to “Aug. 6” appears to be an error. Monica Jackson is named in Global News but not in all accounts; her role is documented through Trejo’s own on-scene statements (“A young lady had to crawl through the window”) even where her name is absent. The crash cause — driver running a red light — is attributed to Trejo’s eyewitness account; the official investigation’s findings are not documented in the sources available for this article and no formal determination is asserted here. The child’s specific special-needs circumstances are not documented in the public record beyond the Bloody Disgusting / ABC7 characterization and Trejo’s on-scene reference to his work with special-needs children; no diagnosis or specific circumstances are asserted here. Three people transported; the third person’s identity (possibly the driver of the second vehicle) is inferred from multiple reports but not confirmed in the sources available here. Trejo’s prison years: sources vary slightly on duration (approximately eleven years) and specific facilities; San Quentin, Folsom, and Soledad are consistently referenced. The 1968 Soledad incident charge (assault on a correctional officer) and its eventual dropping are documented in the Texas Monthly and memoir sources; the specific legal mechanism of the dismissal is not documented in detail. The Runaway Train year is listed as both 1984 (Wikipedia) and 1985 (NBC News memoir article); the film’s release year was 1985. Trejo’s drug counseling start date is referenced as 1973 in the Wikipedia source; other sources say “since the 1970s.” All direct quotations are attributed to documented sources; no dialogue has been invented or reconstructed.
