Woman arrested, accused of DWI after crash on South Side, SAPD says

SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio police said a woman is accused of driving while intoxicated after a crash on the South Side.

The crash happened around 12:25 a.m. Tuesday in the 400 block of Fair Avenue, which is located near South Hackberry Street.

The woman, 23, was heading southbound on the Interstate 37 access road on a motorcycle prior to the incident.

At some point, according to a preliminary report, she pulled the motorcycle’s brake instead of the clutch.

The mix-up caused the motorcycle to skid and eventually land on the woman’s lower body, the report stated.

The woman was taken to a local hospital with minor injuries, SAPD said.

An officer at the scene said the woman was taken into custody for DWI, though that detail was not mentioned in the report.
