Man running from shooter collapses, then gets run over by pickup truck

Victim in critical condition

SAN ANTONIO – What sounds like back-to-back bad luck late Sunday night has left a man in critical condition at a San Antonio area hospital.

The man not only suffered a gunshot wound, but also was run over by a pickup truck as he tried to run away from the shooter.

Officers found him after 11 p.m., lying in the street on S. Pine near Utah Street.

Police believe the man had been shot at a different location and was running down the street, trying to get away, when he collapsed.

At some point later, a driver in a pickup came along and accidentally ran over him.

The driver remained at the scene and called for help, police said.

He told officers he didn’t see the man lying in the street until it was too late.

The victim, who is in his 30s, suffered a gunshot wound to his chest and was in critical condition when he was rushed to a hospital.

Police are still trying to figure out who shot him and why.

It does not appear the driver will face any charges for running over the man.
