One person was killed and five others injured in a San Antonio auto accident Wednesday.
According to officials with the San Antonio Police Department, 18 year-old Alejandro Javier Velasquez died shortly after midnight Wednesday morning when his car veered into the opposite lane into oncoming traffic and struck an SUV head-on. “A Chevy Malibu headed west towards Laredo Veered into the eastbound lane and hit head-on with a Chevy Tahoe,” a police spokesperson said.
Five people in the Chevy Tahoe were injured in the crash. They were transported by ambulance to area hospitals for treatment. Three were later flown to San Antonio hospital. The victims were wearing seatbelts at the time of the crash.
Police believe speed contributed to the car accident.
