SAN ANTONIO – A man hit and killed by a pickup truck on the city’s far North Side has been identified by the San Antonio Police Department on Friday.
Jon Alan Cordova, 56, was struck by a black Dodge Ram traveling northwest on Blanco Road around 9:45 p.m. Thursday.
According to police, Cordova was standing against a railing along the sidewalk in the 19400 block of Blanco Road when he suddenly entered the roadway in the path of the truck.
Police said the truck had a green light at the intersection of Huebner Road. As the truck passed through the light the driver tried to avoid Cordova in the roadway but was not able to due to a vehicle occupying a nearby lane.
Cordova appeared to slip on the wet roadway as the driver tried to avoid him, police said.
SAPD said the driver of the Dodge Ram pulled into the first available parking lot and called 911. Witnesses stopped to assist Cordova and he was taken to University Hospital by EMS where he later died.
The driver of the truck was found not to be intoxicated, and no charges are expected to be filed, police said.
