On December 25, 2025, in downtown San Antonio, a driver hit a woman on an electric scooter and left the scene. The woman was taken to a hospital. On Wednesday, police asked residents and businesses to check security, doorbell, or dashboard cameras for any information about the vehicle or driver, as reported by KENS5.

How to submit tips and footage

Anyone with video or information can send an anonymous tip to Crime Stoppers at 210-224-STOP (210-224-7867), through the P3 Tips mobile app, or online at Crime Stoppers of San Antonio. The site notes that tipsters may remain anonymous and could be eligible for a cash reward if their information leads to a felony arrest.

A string of hit-and-runs across the city

The Christmas-night crash is one of several recent hit-and-runs involving pedestrians and scooter riders reported across San Antonio. In a December incident near La Cantera, investigators released images of a white vehicle and Crime Stoppers offered up to $5,000 for information, Houston Chronicle reported. That case, like the downtown collision, remains under investigation.

What charges the driver could face

Police say that when a driver takes off after a crash that injures someone, they can expect collision-involving-injury charges if they are found. Similar language has appeared in prior San Antonio cases, KSAT noted. Prosecutors will review whatever evidence investigators gather to decide the specific charges once a suspect is identified.

What police are asking

Investigators are urging anyone who was downtown on Dec. 25 and saw the crash or captured any video to contact SAPD or Crime Stoppers. Even brief clips can provide key clues, KENS5 reported. Tips can be submitted anonymously, and detectives say they will follow up on any leads that might help pinpoint the vehicle and its driver.
