A hit-and-run tragedy on the northeast side of San Antonio claimed the life of a young woman late yesterday night. According to KENS 5, the unidentified victim, said to be in her 20s, was struck and killed by a white SUV while pushing a shopping cart across the intersection of Harry Wurzbach and Timberlane at about 10:20 p.m.
Officials state that after hitting the woman the driver of the SUV initially stopped but then made the choice to flee the site without aiding the fatally injured pedestrian, a witness, who saw the driver stop and then to take off, provided this critical information to the responding officers. The San Antonio Police Department is conducting an ongoing investigation, searching for the responsible individual.
The scene described by FOX San Antonio was grim, with the woman pronounced dead at the scene shortly before 10:30 p.m. yesterday. The hit-and-run took place along Harry Wurzbach Road and Timberlane Drive, a location now marked by this recent act of disregard for human life.
As the San Antonio community reels from this senseless act, authorities urge anyone with information to come forward, and police are now putting their efforts into locating the white SUV and its driver, leaving a city to mourn the loss of a woman whose name has yet to be publicly known and whose life was cut short under the cold gaze of street lamps and a fleeting Texas night. Anyone who might hold a piece of this puzzle, perhaps saw the vehicle in question, or knows something about the incident, is encouraged to contact local law enforcement to aid in their pursuit of justice for the victim.
