SAN ANTONIO – A local driver has been charged with intoxication assault following a two-vehicle rollover crash late Monday night, San Antonio police said.

The driver of the Ford was taken Brooke Army Medical Center in life-threatening condition with internal injuries.
The driver of the Mercedes was also taken to an area hospital and will be charged with intoxication assault by proxy, police said. No name or age was given for that driver.
