SAN ANTONIO — Two young women were in a car accident overnight, and authorities had to use the jaws of life to save the driver, the San Antonio Police Department said.
The incident happened around 4:50 a.m. Wednesday on Pecan Valley Drive and Arrid Road.
Police said that two 19-year-olds were in a vehicle going eastbound on Pecan Valley Drive. That's when the driver reportedly veered off the road and crashed into a pole.
The driver was pinned in the vehicle and San Antonio Fire Department crews had to use the jaws of life. She was taken to a local hospital in stable condition. The passenger's condition was not reported.
Police said despite finding "numerous bottles of alcohol in the vehicle," intoxication did not play a factor in the crash.
