A grisly scene unfolded on the West Side of San Antonio where a woman was fatally struck in a hit-and-run accident early Monday morning. According to KENS 5, the incident occurred on the Loop 410 access road, between West Military Drive and Culebra Road around 1:09 a.m.

San Antonio Police discovered the woman, believed to be in her late 40s or early 50s, had already struck by at least one vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators, now piecing together witness accounts, report that several have claimed to see an SUV hitting the woman, raising questions about whether it, or other vehicles, may have been involved.

The investigation into this harrowing incident intensifies as authorities try to determine the woman's actions before the fatal collision. As reported by FOX San Antonio, police are considering if she was attempting to cross the road or had jumped from a nearby flyover right before being struck.

The identity of the SUV driver, who did not stop after the collision, remains unknown. The woman's name has not been released, with her death marking another dark chapter in the city's traffic-related fatalities. The investigation is currently ongoing.
