Early yesterday morning, a Bexar County Sheriff's Deputy faced a critical situation that required immediate medical assistance while conducting a traffic stop on the north side of the county. The incident took place near the intersection of Stone Oak Parkway and Canyon Golf at approximately 1:49 a.m., as reported by KENS 5.
While details surrounding the medical event are still unclear, it has been confirmed by the SAPD that the deputy, parked in his marked vehicle, was approached by another vehicle and shortly thereafter required life-saving measures. According to a statement obtained by FOX San Antonio, first responders were able to successfully restart the deputy’s pulse and subsequently transferred him to the hospital in a critical state.
The incident led to the detention of one individual from the stopped vehicle while another fled the scene on foot, as noted by the ongoing investigation. The driver, who was questioned by authorities at the time of the deputy's medical emergency, has since been released, with officials citing no evidence of foul play involved in the deputy's condition.
An investigation into the precise circumstances of the deputy's sudden health crisis remains active. Meanwhile, the law enforcement community and local residents are likely awaiting updates on the deputy's condition, who was last reported as critical. Local authorities have not disclosed the nature of the medical emergency or the identity of the individuals involved, as the current priority shifts toward the recovery of the officer and the search for the individual who fled the scene.
