Officials from the San Antonio Fire Department arrived at the scene to find a single vehicle that had come to rest in an adjacent ditch. The driver, reportedly a man in his 30s, was the sole occupant of the car. Despite the surprising nature of this event, the driver sustained only minor injuries. The circumstances leading up to the car’s departure from the road remained unclear, with officials yet to determine an official cause, as noted by FOX San Antonio.
