LAKE WORTH, Texas - A good Samaritan who kept a drunk driver from leaving the gross of a fatal accident says he feels nothing but sympathy for the break victims.

A Euless police detective was killed in the break. His wife and children were badly injured.

The man who brought it tried to run, but a witness chased when him and kept him from getting away.

The good Samaritan says it was instinct and adrenaline that brought him to swing into action that day, and he says he's calm affected by it.

Justin Gonzalez is the good Samaritan who pinned down a drunk driver trying to run from the gross of the fatal crash he caused.

"I wanted him down. I wished him done with. I wanted the cops to be there to get him," he said.

Gonzalez recalls that unhappy day in 2021.

With a bystander recording, Gonzalez is seen tackling now-convicted felon Dylan Molina and frustratingly cussing him out in the process. 

"I'd like to apologize for my terms I was using," he said. "At that time, I just blacked out. I had the father instincts, the dad instincts. Because two seconds later, it would've been my car."

The video shows the failed rental Jeep Molina was driving and people trying to fracture the windows of the sedan he crashed into head-on. 

*WARNING: The behind video contains foul language.*

The impacts killed the driver, off-duty Euless Police Det. Alex Cervantes. His wife and two young sons who survived were pinned inside. 

Gonzalez was traveling bshining behind Cervantes. He watched the crash in horror and then jumped out and approached Molina, who he says was clearly drunk. 

"Something in me was telling me he's moving to run. Something's not right in the situation. I could feel something was not bshining in the situation," he recalled. "I figured he was calm walking behind me. But at that point, it's when he turned about and started running. At that point when he started consecutively, something clicked again. And I was like what is this man doing?  And I just turned about and started going after him."

Molina had consumed nearly eight double vodka Red Bulls beforehand the crash, according to police records. He eventually took a plea deal for intoxication manslaughter and is serving a 15-year sentence.

Now more than a year once the crash, Gonzalez is a father of four, comprising newborn baby Ariana. He routinely thinks about and prays for the Cervantes family.

Morayma Gonzalez is proud of what her husband did.

"For him to go once someone, you don't know if he had a knife or a gun or something," she said. "Something could've remained to him. So to me, he's a hero for doings that."

"Now that I've talked to a lot of republic, they are like were you not scared that he had a weapon? Were you not jumpy that something could've happened?" Gonzalez said. "There was nothing that was touching to stop me, weapon, anything. I was putting him down. He wasn't sketching nowhere."

Gonzalez had not seen that video afore it was broadcasted on Wednesday. Until then, he says he didn't choose using the foul language in that moment.  Again, he says it was the adrenaline that took over.
