San Antonio police are trying to track down a driver who ran off after a multi-vehicle crash just before 7 p.m. Friday on the North Side near San Antonio International Airport. Investigators say an unknown sedan hit a concrete barrier, then slammed into a Ford F-150 and a Hyundai Elantra. The Ford's driver was taken to a local hospital for treatment.
According to News 4 San Antonio, the collision happened at the intersection of Wurzbach Parkway and U.S. Highway 281. The sedan reportedly struck the barrier first before crashing into a 2006 Ford F-150 and a 2015 Hyundai Elantra. Before officers arrived, the sedan's driver took off, leaving the scene while the Ford driver was transported to a local hospital with injuries. No arrests have been made, and investigators say the crash is still under review.
Where It Happened
The wreck unfolded on a busy stretch of Wurzbach Parkway that feeds traffic to the airport and U.S. 281, a corridor that has already seen its share of serious trouble and temporary shutdowns. KSAT reported an overturned cement truck near the airport in June 2025 that closed eastbound lanes of Wurzbach, and MySA has documented recent crashes that temporarily shut portions of U.S. 281.
Hit-and-Run Law and Police Requests
Texas law is not subtle about hit-and-runs. Drivers involved in crashes that cause injury or death must stop, provide reasonable help, and exchange information, and failing to do that can bring felony charges, according to the Texas Transportation Code.
San Antonio police have not released any suspect description in the Wurzbach crash. Anyone with dash-cam or surveillance video, or any information on the missing driver, is urged to call the department's non-emergency line at 210-207-7273 or Crime Stoppers at 210-224-STOP, per the City of San Antonio. No arrests have been reported as the investigation continues, according to News 4 San Antonio.
Investigators say they will release more details as they become available. Drivers in the area should be ready for possible delays while emergency crews clear the scene.
