A grisly Sunday morning in San Antonio ended in tragedy as police say a 38-year-old woman hit her boyfriend with her car after a vehicular chase, leaving him critically injured on the street. According to authorities, officers were dispatched to the 2000 block of Hidalgo Street near Southwest 19th Street around 3:45 a.m. amid reports of a pedestrian getting struck by a driver, who then collided with another parked car. The incident appeared to be an intentional act of violence stemming from a dating relationship between the victim and the assailant, both KENS5 and the Sacramento Bee report.
Upon arrival, law enforcement found an unconscious 38-year-old man beside a totaled 2007 Ford Focus, the man's condition was critical, and he was subsequently transported to a nearby hospital for treatment. Video footage from the scene, as described by police, showed the suspect accelerating after the victim as he ran west on Hidalgo Street before being struck down, KENS5 reports.
The alleged assailant, whose identity has yet to be released by officials, was seen fleeing the scene on foot without rendering aid to the injured man, and police are actively searching for her. Investigators told the Sacramento Bee, "Preliminary investigations revealed that the victim and the suspect driver are in a dating relationship and the crash appeared intentional." Once apprehended, the woman will face charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
