Woman hit by driver who initially had swerved to miss her, police say

The driver told police he saw the woman on the left side shoulder and swerved but ended up hitting her anyway.

SAN ANTONIO — A woman was taken to the hospital with what police say was a 'deformity to her ankle' after she was hit on Loop 410 early Wednesday.

It happened on NW Loop 410 Southbound at Bandera Road around 6 a.m.

Two lanes of traffic were closed while officials worked to investigate and clear the scene.

The man told police he was driving to work on Loop 410, when he saw a female pedestrian on the left hand side shoulder and swerved to miss her but still hit her. 

He ended up going across a few lanes and across the frontage road where he crashed his car. 

That driver is okay.

The woman he hit was taken to the hospital with what the officer called a “deformity” to her ankle and some scrapes.
