San Antonio, Texas (May 10, 2018) – The woman who was struck and killed by two vehicles Sunday morning in San Antonio has been identified by as Vanessa Garcia, 32.
The fatal crash happened at around 5:15 a.m. Sunday, May 6 in the 900 block of Southwest Military.
Police said Garcia was not in a crosswalk when she was walking to the northbound side of the street and stepped into the path of a 2007 Dodge Ram truck.
As per the report, the truck’s driver attempted to turn left and was unable to avoid striking Garcia with the front right side of his truck. Garcia fell and slid into the next lane over.
Authorities said a car traveling in that lane was able to avoid hitting Garcia as she lay on the street, but a second car following behind was unable to turn in time and ran over her.
Garcia was transported to Brooke Army Military Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead at 6:21 a.m.
No one is facing any charges in the accident.
The cause of the crash is under investigation.
