SAN ANTONIO – Three people were hospitalized, including two San Antonio police officers, after a multi-vehicle crash on the Northwest Side.
The crash happened just before 5:30 p.m. Tuesday at Wurzbach Road and Ewing Halsell Drive in the Medical Center.
According to a preliminary report, officers were told that the SAPD vehicle was at a stoplight facing southbound on Wurzbach Road when the driver of a sedan approached the intersection.
The sedan driver crashed into a pickup truck and then went over a concrete sidewalk curb before colliding with a VIAtrans van.
The van then struck a delivery truck, and police said the sedan driver continued heading southbound prior to crashing into the SAPD vehicle.
Police believe that the sedan driver was experiencing a medical episode.
Two officers in the SAPD vehicle were taken to a local hospital for further treatment. SAPD said the sedan driver was hospitalized with critical injuries.
A VIA spokesperson said no passengers were on board the van and the VIA operator was not injured.
The delivery truck driver was also not injured, according to SAPD.
A witness at the scene told KSAT, “there are car accidents all the time” at the intersection.
Additional information was not immediately available.
