SAN ANTONIO – A bicyclist was taken to an area hospital following a hit-and-run crash overnight, San Antonio police said Monday.
The crash occurred just before midnight Sunday at the intersection of Brady Boulevard and Driftwood Street, not far from South Zarzamora Street on the city's West Side.
According to police, the bicyclist, a man in his 30s, was traveling westbound on Brady Boulevard when he was hit by a vehicle as he crossed the intersection.
The driver of the vehicle did not stop to render aid. Police said the intersection is a four-way stop and it appears that both the bicyclist and the vehicle may have disregarded the stop sign.

The San Antonio Police Department and EMS crews both answered the call.
