SAN ANTONIO – A 58-year-old man has been arrested following head-on vehicle crash on the city’s North Side late Sunday night, San Antonio police said.
The crash occurred around 11:20 p.m. in the 4700 block of San Pedro Avenue, not far from Fresno Road.
According to police, the driver of a gray truck was traveling northbound in the southbound lanes of San Pedro Avenue when he crashed into a white pickup truck head-on.
Police said the driver of the white pickup truck, a 19-year-old woman, swerved to avoid hitting the wrong-way truck, but the vehicles still collided. The wrong-way driver was thrown from the vehicle, with the truck coming to a stop in front of a church, police said.
The male driver was taken by EMS to University Hospital, where he is listed in serious condition. His injuries are not life-threatening. The woman and a 2-year-old child inside the white truck were not seriously hurt and were taken to a hospital as a precaution, police said.
SAPD said prior to the accident, officers received a call about the man for causing a disturbance near Basse Road, but he had left prior to their arrival. The man has since been arrested on a charge of driving while intoxicated, police said.
The man’s name has not been released.
