Three family members have been hospitalized after they were struck by a vehicle during a vigil for a loved one at San Antonio’s notorious “ghost tracks.”
The family had gathered on the corner of Shane Road and Villamain Road just after midnight on Sunday to pay tribute to a relative killed in an accident at the spot when a suspected drunk driver rammed into the group, injuring a woman and two children, aged 9 and 11.
The crash site is already famous thanks to an urban legend that the ghosts of children killed in a 20th-century school bus crash linger there, earning the scene the name the San Antonio Ghost Tracks.
San Antonio Police said that Sunday’s accident unfolded when Jessica Rose Llanas, 34, was driving along Villamain Road and missed her intended turn off onto Shane Road.
Police said the vehicle ran over the two children’s feet before striking the adult woman.
The woman was left with head injuries, though none of the victims’ injuries were life threatening, reported News4SanAntonio.
