SAPD investigating whether car driver had been drinking

SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio police say they are investigating the possibility that alcohol was involved in a crash early Monday that sent five people to a hospital.

They say a driver of a car turned at the intersection of Culebra Road and Les Harrison, hitting a city of San Antonio ambulance that was carrying a patient to a hospital around 2:30 a.m.

The ambulance then ran over the median on Culebra and hit a wrought iron fence, knocking down and damaging part of it.

However, they say no one suffered serious injuries.
