A late-night attempt to cross the lanes of IH-10 on San Antonio’s Northwest Side ended in tragedy earlier today when a woman was struck and later died from her injuries, according to police.
San Antonio police said the crash unfolded just after 3:30 a.m. near Huebner Road, when a woman and another person ran across the median and into oncoming traffic. Officers said the woman was hit by a vehicle, rushed to a hospital with life-threatening injuries, and later died.
