SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio police said a motorcyclist was rushed to a local hospital after a crash on the South Side.

The crash happened around 12:25 a.m. Tuesday in the 400 block of Fair Avenue, which is located near South Hackberry Street.

The motorcyclist, a 23-year-old woman, was heading southbound on the Interstate 37 access road prior to the incident.
