Yesterday morning, a scooter ride turned harrowing for a 44-year-old man on the West Side of San Antonio. KSAT reports that the man was struck by an unidentified vehicle near the intersection of South General McMullen and El Paso Street around 5 a.m. The collision left him in critical condition, a grim reminder of the vulnerability of those who traverse our city on two wheels.
Witnesses described the scene as jarring, recounting the collision's sound to authorities, according to San Antonio police. Rendered almost invisible, the vehicle that hit him reportedly vanished, it's unclear if aid was offered to the injured man in the moments following the accident or if the driver will face charges.
Emergency services promptly responded, ferrying the injured man to an area hospital. The latest updates indicate the seriousness of his condition, though specifics have not been detailed in public statements.
