Man killed in West Side crash after stealing Camaro, San Antonio police say

SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio police say a man is dead after crashing a stolen car on the West Side.

The crash happened just before 9 p.m. Friday near West Commerce Street and Western Park.

Police say the man stole a red Chevrolet Camaro from a convenience store after the car was left unlocked.

The Camaro was traveling westbound in the eastbound lanes. A sedan was traveling westbound and swerved into oncoming traffic to avoid colliding with the Camaro, police said.

The Camaro then swerved into another lane and crashed head-on with a Jeep Patriot. Both the driver and the passenger were injured and taken to University Hospital for further treatment.

The man who stole the car died at the scene after a head-on collision with another vehicle. His identity has not yet been released by officials, pending on family notification.
