SAN ANTONIO – The driver of a stolen car fled the scene following a rollover crash on the city's West Side early Friday morning, San Antonio police said.
The incident occurred just after 5 a.m. in the 3000 block of Tampico Street, not far from Castroville Road and Barclay Street.
According to police, the stolen car was traveling on Tampico Street when, for some unknown reason, it hit a telephone pole and rolled over, catching fire.
Police said the two female passengers, a 15-year-old girl and an 18-year-old woman, were both injured. The driver, however, ran off.
