SAN ANTONIO – An off-duty Bexar County Sheriff’s Office deputy who was directing traffic sustained injuries from a driver who struck him, according to a sheriff’s office spokesperson.
BCSO said the incident occurred in the 10000 block of Wurzbach Road just before 8 a.m. on Thursday.
Another car blocked the suspected vehicle, allowing the deputy to get off the hood, a BCSO sergeant told KSAT at the scene.
The driver then fled from the scene.
BCSO said the deputy was stabilized by emergency personnel but was injured in the incident, receiving cuts to his head.
A sergeant at a separate scene near Tioga Drive and Powhatan Drive told KSAT that the vehicle was believed to have been found at a nearby apartment complex. However, the driver was not present.
BCSO and San Antonio police were working to locate the suspected driver, who was believed to be somewhere in the complex, according to the sheriff’s office.
This is a developing story. KSAT has a crew at the scene and will provide more information as it becomes available.
