SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio police officers are searching for a driver and passenger involved in a hit-and-run that took place on the East Side on Friday morning.

The crash caused the GMC to roll over, resulting in minor injuries for the driver.

The SUV’s driver continued until the vehicle became inoperable. A couple inside the vehicle then abandoned it on Delmar Street, police said.
