SAN ANTONIO – A woman in her early 50s was killed after she and her dog were hit by a vehicle while crossing a busy West Side roadway.<\/p>\n
The accident happened just after 11:30 a.m. Friday off Marbach Road near Military Drive. <\/p>\n
Police said the 52-year-old woman was crossing the roadway with her dog when a man in his 60s driving a Chrysler struck them. Investigators believe the woman may have entered the road from a nearby driveway or parking lot. There does not appear to be a crosswalk where she was crossing.<\/p>\n
The woman was taken to the hospital with serious injuries, where she was later pronounced deceased.<\/p>\n
Her dog was also badly injured. Police said an officer had to put the animal down because of the severity of its injuries.<\/p>\n
The driver remained at the scene and was not injured. Police said he appeared to have some mobility and health issues.<\/p>\n
The investigation briefly took another turn when a witness told an arriving officer that the driver might have a gun after seeing him reach underneath something inside the vehicle.<\/p>\n
Police later determined there was no gun.<\/p>\n
“It was just a passerby who thought they might have a gun,” an officer at the scene said. “No gun, no gun involved.”<\/p>\n
Police said the driver was not facing charge at this time pending the results of the investigation. <\/p>\n
Investigators were also working to obtain surveillance video from nearby businesses and had spoken with at least two witnesses who police said saw the crash.<\/p>\n
Police said the woman had apparently been visiting a family member or friend in the area before the crash. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SAN ANTONIO – A woman in her early 50s was killed after she and her dog were hit…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":406773,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[82,84,83],"class_list":["post-407319","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio-headlines","tag-san-antonio-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/407319","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=407319"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/407319\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/406773"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=407319"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=407319"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=407319"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
