Yesterday night, a commotion unfolded on the west side of San Antonio when a woman reportedly lost control of her vehicle and crashed into a vacant building. The incident, which occurred near Old Highway 90 on West Commerce Street, involved a female driver, believed to be in her 30s, who is now facing DWI suspicions.
The San Antonio Police Department responded to a distress call around 11:30 p.m. and upon arrival at the 5000 block of West Commerce Street, discovered the woman's car almost entirely inside the commercial structure. According to KENS 5, the woman apparently hit a curb which sent her vehicle barreling into the building.
Fortunately, despite the dramatic nature of the crash, there were no reports of injuries as the building was unoccupied at the time. Following an evaluation at the scene, police detained the woman under the suspicion of operating her vehicle while impaired. Details regarding the woman's identity have not been disclosed to the public.
After the incident, it wasn't just the police who arrived to contend with the aftermath. The San Antonio Fire Department and EMS were also present, indicating the severity of situation. As reported by KSAT, the investigation into the crash is still ongoing, as authorities work to piece together the events that culminated in this unexpected destruction.
This story is developing, with local law enforcement likely to provide updates as more information becomes available.
