SAN ANTONIO – A motorcyclist is hospitalized after being hit by a vehicle head-on overnight, San Antonio police said.
The incident occurred around 11 p.m. near Del Lago Parkway and Highway 281 south on the city’s South Side.
According to police, the motorcyclist had exited Highway 281 and made a left turn onto Del Lago Parkway to enter the neighborhood when a vehicle traveling eastbound attempted to make a turn into a parking lot of a Circle K convenience store.

The driver of the vehicle was not injured, but is now being evaluated for DWI, police said.
