SAN ANTONIO – A 63-year-old woman riding a bicycle was hit and killed by a vehicle on the city’s South Side early Monday morning, according to San Antonio police.
Officers were called just before 2:30 a.m. to a convenience store near Southton Road on Loop 410 after receiving word of a person injured.
According to police, the woman, identified as Tina Marie Ferrage, was riding a bicycle northbound on Southton Road and was approaching the SE Loop 410 access road when, for an unknown reason, she fell off her bicycle and remained on the ground. That’s when, police say, a Ford Ranger traveling east on the access road struck Ferrage while she was still on the ground.
Ferrage was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police said the driver of the vehicle stopped to help her. A preliminary police report states the driver was found not to be intoxicated and cooperated with the investigation.
Officials said Ferrage had been accompanied with a man while riding her bike. The man was riding ahead when he noticed he wasn’t behind her, so he went back to find her on the ground, police said.
