Early this morning, a 68-year-old woman tragically lost her life on the southeast side of San Antonio when she was struck by a car, or potentially two, while riding her bicycle. According to KENS 5, the incident took place around 2:30 a.m. on Southton Road near Loop 410 as the woman was returning from a convenience store.
A person she was riding with reported to police that they had gotten significantly ahead of her and upon realizing she was no longer in sight, circled back to find her on the ground. The urgency of the situation compelled one person to swiftly stop and render aid, My San Antonio documented the details provided by the police department.
The woman died at the scene, leaving the local community to mourn her sudden passing. The San Antonio Police Department is conducting an investigation into the accident and is seeking information on the vehicles involved in this incident. One of the drivers involved is known to have stayed to help the woman, but it remains unclear whether the other driver implicated in the accident stayed at the scene or fled. This critical detail was reported by both KENS 5 and My San Antonio.
As the investigation proceeds, authorities are appealing to the public for any leads that could aid in piecing together the circumstances leading up to this tragic event. Anyone with information is encouraged to come forward and contact the San Antonio Police Department.
