A man was sent to a hospital after getting struck by a vehicle on South Zarzamora Street, Tuesday night, according to a local news source.
At around 12:30 a.m., San Antonio local troopers were requested on South Zarzamora Street and West Harlan Avenue to assist in a car accident. When emergency crews arrived at the scene, they found a man lying on the street suffering from multiple injuries. He was immediately transported to University Hospital where he was listed in critical condition. Authorities only identified the pedestrian as a man believed to be in his 30 or 40s.
The vehicle that struck the victim was nowhere to be found in the scene of the crash. His identification and whereabouts remain undisclosed at this time.
The San Antonio Police Department is investigating the crash while the San Antonio Fire Department and EMS crews assisted in the clearing of the site.
Our deepest sympathies are with the family and friends of the injured victim. We pray for their speedy recovery.
According to the National Highway Traffic Administration (NHTSA), car accidents happen almost every minute of the day, and for every 16 minutes, a car accident occurs that results in death. So that is about 6 million car accidents every year and 90 people dying in car accidents every day in the U.S. alone. Despite the government’s aggressive efforts to keep these cases down, Texas remains the worst state in the country for alcohol-involved car crashes.
Following a fatal accident, it is important to be familiar with the rights you are entitled to. If you or your loved one is a victim in an accident caused by inattentive actions of another driver or other entity, you may have the right to file for compensation. In times like this, you would need a professional who can provide you with all the support you need as you go through this difficult time.
