SAN ANTONIO — One man has died in an accident on the west side Tuesday morning, officials say.
It happened around 5:45 a.m. on the 5700 block of Five Palms Drive near West Military and Luke Blvd.
Deputies say a man was walking in the middle of the road when he was struck by a moving vehicle.
He was then run over by multiple vehicle, according to officials. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the first car did stop and had to be taken to the hospital with injuries to her wrist.
The westbound lanes of W Military at Luke Blvd had to be shut down during the investigation. The eastbound lanes were also reduced to one lane to allow access to Lackland AFB.
