3 hospitalized after 6-vehicle crash on West Side, SAPD says

2 people critically injured, third hospitalized with non-critical injuries

SAN ANTONIO – Three people were hospitalized after a six-vehicle crash on the West Side, according to the San Antonio Police Department.

Officers responded to the crash around 11 a.m. Sunday at the intersection of Culebra Road and Village Park.

According to an SAPD preliminary report, a 29-year-old man traveling eastbound on Culebra Road in a Hyundai Sonata attempted to turn onto Village Park.

As the man attempted to make the turn, officers said a Ford F-150 and a Chevrolet Silverado were traveling westbound on Culebra Road.

At some point, the Chevrolet rear-ended the F-150, which caused the Ford to hit the sidewalk and crash into a telephone pole, SAPD said. The telephone pole was knocked down in the process.

The Silverado also struck a GMC Acadia stopped at a red light on Culebra Road, the report said. Following the collision, police said the GMC was propelled forward into the intersection and struck the Hyundai.

Meanwhile, authorities said the Silverado veered to the right and crashed into a Dodge Ram.

The Hyundai then “rotated” and crashed into a Nissan Frontier that was stopped on Village Park before it moved backwards into the Dodge Ram, the report states.

The 29-year-old man, the Ford F-150 driver and the Silverado driver were hospitalized for further treatment.

An officer at the scene Sunday said two of the drivers were in critical but non-life-threatening condition, police said. A third person sustained non-critical injuries.

Officers told KSAT that a witness reported that at least one vehicle may have been speeding. Police said there were no signs of intoxication.

It is unknown whether criminal charges will be filed. SAPD said its investigation is ongoing.
