3-Month-Old Hospitalized After Crash Involving Speeding Trucks and Intoxicated Driver

Race Day Live  (San Antonio, TX) – A three-month-old infant sustained injuries in an accident involving a motorist under the influence of alcohol.

According to preliminary reports from the San Antonio Police Department, a three-month-old infant sustained injuries and was subsequently hospitalized following a vehicular collision that occurred overnight, involving a motorist under the influence of alcohol. The driver is purported to have executed an improper left turn, which resulted in the collision and subsequent injury of the infant.

A black 2010 Volkswagen CC, transporting a three-month-old infant, was proceeding westbound in the 10100 block of Ingram Road at approximately midnight on Saturday, January 25, when the driver reportedly executed an improper left turn into an apartment complex.

Law enforcement officials report that two pickup vehicles were traveling at a high rate of speed in the same direction, positioned behind the Volkswagen.

The two vehicles were characterized as a black 2023 Chevrolet 1500 and a white pickup vehicle. According to preliminary information, as the Volkswagen executed a left turn, it was subsequently impacted at the rear by a black Chevrolet truck, causing the Volkswagen to veer into the eastbound lanes.

The operator of the Chevrolet allegedly halted the vehicle and entered the white pickup truck prior to absconding from the scene without providing assistance.

The three-month-old infant was admitted to a hospital with significant injuries. Despite the presence of two additional adolescents in the vehicle at the time of the collision, no further injuries were reported.

Nevertheless, the operator of the Volkswagen, a 22-year-old male, was assessed by law enforcement and determined to be under the influence of alcohol. According to the San Antonio Police Department, he is confronting two charges of operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol while a minor under the age of 15 is present.

The operator of the black Chevrolet, a 21-year-old male, was apprehended shortly following the incident and is currently facing a charge of collision resulting in grievous bodily injury.
