SAN ANTONIO — A driver was able to avoid serious injury thanks to a Kendall County deputy who pulled her out of a car as it went up in flames.
According to an official with Kendall County, around 12 a.m. Friday, a deputy observed a driver speeding along IH-10 MM 545 E. The deputy also noted that the car appeared to be weaving in and out of traffic, causing other cars to take evasive action to avoid an accident.
While attempting to pull the car over, the driver exited Fair Oaks Parkway and turned onto Tarpon Drive where she hit a tree, causing the car to catch fire.
The deputy was able to pull the driver out of the car before she was seriously injured.
After being medically cleared at the scene, the driver, Jennifer Hernandez, was arrested for 'evading arrest or detention.'
