SAN ANTONIO – A man was hospitalized after a vehicle struck and dragged him while he slept in a parking lot downtown, according to the San Antonio Police Department.
The crash happened just before 2 a.m. Saturday in the 500 block of East César E. Chávez Boulevard.
Police said the 26-year-old man was dragged several feet before the suspect vehicle, described as a maroon passenger car, stopped.
The vehicle fled the scene without providing medical aid or identifying information, SAPD said.
The man was taken to a hospital with “minor, but non-life-threatening injuries,” police said.
When found, the driver will be charged with collision involving injury, SAPD said.
The investigation is ongoing.
