Posted on Tuesday, June 18th, 2019 at 4:44 am
A 21-year-old man died after getting involved in a deadly vehicle collision on the South Side, Military Drive, early Saturday morning.
San Antonio law enforcement officials said that a crash was reported at around 2:00 a.m. at the intersection of Military and Commercial Avenue. According to initial reports, a pickup truck was seen traveling at a high rate of speed when it rear-ended a compact vehicle. The impact sent the car a quarter mile from the intersection.
One person sustained serious injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene. He was identified as Dylan Trevino.
Meanwhile, two of the occupants in the pickup truck attempted to flee on foot but were later arrested by local police officers.
No other injuries were reported.
An investigation is underway.
According to the National Highway Traffic Administration (NHTSA), car accidents happen almost every minute of every day, and for every 16 minutes, a car accident occurs that results in death. That is roughly about 6 million car accidents every year and 90 people dying in car accidents every day in the U.S. alone. Driving while distracted, under the influence of alcohol, and at an unsafe speed are three most common causes of car accidents.
