San Antonio Car Accident Sends One to Hospital

Posted on Aug 23, 2011

A San Antonio car accident involving two vehicles leaves at least one person injured after a woman drives the wrong way on a South Side roadway and slams into another vehicle in the early morning. The incident took place at approximately 2:30 on Thursday morning, August 11, 2011, along Texas 16.

According to San Antonio police, the woman was traveling northbound on the southbound lanes of Texas 16 when she slammed into another vehicle head-on. The unidentified woman was reportedly intoxicated and told officers that she had just left a local bar.

Rescue crews transported the woman to University Hospital where she was treated for a broken leg. Her condition was not immediately made known.

The driver of the vehicle she hit was identified as 20-year-old Steven Anthony. It was unclear if Mr. Anthony was seriously injured in the early-morning crash.

Police took the woman into custody on suspicion of drunk driving. She is expected to be charged with one count of driving while intoxicated.

The San Antonio two-vehicle accident is still under investigation by local authorities.
