SAN ANTONIO – A 74-year-old woman was hospitalized with life-threatening injuries after she was struck and pinned underneath a vehicle on the West Side, according to the San Antonio Police Department.
The incident happened just before 10:30 a.m. Tuesday in the 900 block of South General McMullen Drive, which is located near Castroville Road.
According to an SAPD preliminary report, a woman was driving southbound on South General McMullen Drive. Her light turned green and she accelerated before noticing “last minute” that the 74-year-old woman was “in the crosswalk” after leaving an H-E-B parking lot, police said.
“The driver attempted to stop prior to collision, but was unable to,” the report states.
The 74-year-old was initially pinned underneath the vehicle. San Antonio fire crews were later able to remove her, an SAPD sergeant said at the scene.
The injured woman had a pulse at the scene before she was taken to a local hospital “with life threatening injuries,” the report states.
SAPD said the driver showed “no signs of intoxicants,” remained at the scene and is not expected to be charged with a crime.
