SAN ANTONIO — A woman was hit by a car while trying to escape from a pack of barking dogs on the northwest side of town Saturday night.
Police responded around 8:30 p.m. to the 2200 block of Bandera Road for reports of an accident.
When officers arrived at the location, they found a 38-year-old woman who had been hit by a car. She told police that she was walking across Bandera Road and as she exited the road and on the sidewalk, a pack of dogs began to bark and lunge towards her. She backed away from the dogs and straight into traffic.
She was hit by an unknown white vehicle that failed to stop and render aid, driving away following the incident.
The victim was taken to University Hospital with minor injuries, but did require surgery.
If found, the driver of the unknown vehicle will be charged with Failure to Stop and Render Aid.
This case remains under investigation.
