Woman killed in possible Southwest Side hit-and-run off Interstate 35, SAPD says

SAN ANTONIO – The San Antonio Police Department is investigating after a woman was found dead Saturday on the service road of Interstate 35 on the Southwest Side.

Officers were dispatched just after 12:30 p.m. to the 12600 block of I-35 access road near Fischer Road.

Someone at a nearby business called police after he found what he believed to be a body, police said. The woman was dead when police arrived, and car parts were scattered.

An SAPD preliminary report states officers discovered the woman in the grass area between the main lanes and the southbound access road.

SAPD said the woman had “obvious” signs of trauma to her body, which investigators believe were caused by a vehicle.

Police at the scene said they believe the woman was struck by a vehicle that fled the scene.

SAPD has not identified the woman or any suspects as of Sunday. It is unclear when the crash occurred.

The investigation remains ongoing.
