BEXAR COUNTY, Texas – A man was arrested after a crash in northeast Bexar County led to a woman being hospitalized, prompting a miscarriage, according to the sheriff’s office.
The crash happened around 9:30 p.m. Thursday at Binz Engleman Road and Woodlake Parkway.
The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office identified the man as Alexander Diaz Mendoza, 30.
Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar said Diaz Mendoza had disregarded a red light, causing him to strike another vehicle.
Salazar said the other vehicle was carrying a pregnant woman who went into labor and miscarried as a result of injuries sustained in the crash.
