Early this morning, tragedy struck in downtown San Antonio when a black Jeep struck two pedestrians and fled the scene. The hit-and-run occurred on the 400 block of Austin Street, a stone's throw away from the heart of downtown. According to KENS 5, police arrived around 2:10 a.m. to find the victims, a man and a woman, who had just left a bar when they were hit.

The male victim was transported to University Hospital due to an injury to his arm, while the female was fortunate enough to be assessed on the scene by EMS, escaping with fewer injuries. Despite the early hour, the driver made the decision to not stop to render aid, leaving behind more questions than answers. Officials are currently on the lookout for the culprit behind the wheel of the Jeep, as reported by Fox San Antonio.

The incident has sparked an investigation by the San Antonio police, who are combing through the details to try to locate the driver. With scant details about the vehicle apart from its color and model, authorities are appealing to the public for any information that may lead to an arrest.

As the city wakes up to the news of this hit-and-run, the community's sense of security is once again shaken by reckless disregard for human life. Those with information on the black Jeep or any details pertinent to the case are urged to contact the San Antonio Police Department. The hospital has yet to release an update on the male victim's condition following the event, which has temporarily left one person to hopefully recover and another to deal with the aftermath of the night's trauma.
