Hit-and-Run Crash on U.S. 281 in San Antonio Leaves 1 Seriously Injured


San Antonio, TX — There was an accident along U.S. 281 in San Antonio this past Thursday (July 30, 2015) that left a passenger in a Chevy HHR with serious injuries. The police reported this as happened late Thursday night at the intersection of San Pedro Ave (U.S. 281’s access road) and Jones Maltsberger Drive.

So far, it appears that a Chevy HHR was sitting at a red light when a black pickup truck rear-ended it, apparently failing to brake for the red light.

A 34-year old person in the Chevy HHR was badly injured and taken to a hospital where they were last said to be in critical condition. The driver of the HHR, 63, and another passenger, 60, were not as badly injured, but still required treatment.

The police are treating this like a hit-and-run accident because the driver of the black truck allegedly sped away and got on U.S. 281 northbound after hitting the HHR. No word on whether they’ve been found yet.

I'm a former employee. I had brought up this exact scenario and suggested a maintenance procedure that would eliminate the possibility of this type injury. Obviously my warning went unheeded.

I was actually a couple cars back from this wreck, one of the first on the scene, and helped administer CPR on the victims. The truck driver was going way too fast, but it was actually his trailer that swung around and hit the suv, the semi-truck ended in the median.

A lot of people say smack about lawyers, but I want to say that I'm glad there is a way that people who are wronged by corporate neglect can get justice and force change. We are living in a world where corporations and govt care less than ever about common people, and I support your work. I hope I will never need your services.

Thank you for posting these accident articles on your site. At the company that I work for, e deal with monitoring construction activity and work around trenches and all sorts of construction equipment/vehicles. I sometimes wonder if construction companies have enough safety training to inform employees of how to protect themselves while on the job.
