Calderon and Handy died at the scene, sources said, while Calderon's younger brother was taken to University Hospital via AirLife with critical injuries.
The honor escort left San Patricio County Friday morning and passed through Bee County, Live Oak County, Atascosa County until they reached Bexar County.
