IRVING (WBAP/KLIF News ) – North Texas residents and businesses are rallying around an Irving family who lost four loved ones in a car-train collision in Mexico last month.

Chris Ahuyon’s wife, Mercedes Borquez Ahuyon, his mother-in-law Sofia Borquez and two of their four children Cresencio,6, and Cristobal, 6-months were killed on June 26 in the area of Conchoes Station near Chihuahua.

Mercedes was driving and police said her car either stalled on the tracks or she didn’t see the train coming.

The couple’s 13-year-old son Cesar is in serious condition at a hospital in Mexico. Their two-year-old son Cruz also survived.

Choking back tears, Chris’ brother Mike Ahuyon told our media partner WFAA TV the family is still trying to process what happened.

“The pain is unbearable. I mean…there’s no words,” he said. Since the tragedy, the community has supported the family.

On Tuesday, July 12, the Aspen Creek Grill at 4300 West Airport Freeway in Irving is donating 10% of all sales to the Ahuyon-Borquez family.
