SAN ANTONIO – A woman struck and killed by a vehicle during a hit-and-run Sunday evening on the West Side has been identified.
San Antonio police said Yolanda Cano, 71, was walking eastbound in the 1500 block of El Paso Street, which is located near the South San Jacinto Street intersection south of Lanier High School.
An unknown vehicle struck Cano and the driver fled the scene, according to an SAPD preliminary report.
As of Monday morning, the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office said Cano’s cause and manner of death are pending.
Officers were dispatched just after 8 p.m. after someone reported Cano lying in the middle of the street. Authorities later pronounced Cano dead at the scene.
Because the driver did not stop and help Cano, they will face a collision involving death charge upon their arrest, police said.
SAPD said the crash remains under investigation.
