Firefighters used extrication tools to remove a door and roof to get the victims out of the heavily damaged vehicle.

SAN ANTONIO — Four people were pulled out of their SUV by the SAFD heavy rescue team following a three-vehicle crash on San Antonio's west side late Sunday night.

It happened in the 9200 block of Potranco Road near Hunt Lane around 10:40 p.m.

An officer at the scene said the crash involved three vehicles but did not say exactly how it happened.

Four people were rescued from the substantially damaged car by firefighters using extrication tools to remove a door and the roof of the vehicle to get them out safely.

Police say the occupant in the second car was not injured. 

A third car pulled over in another location, and police say they were being evaluated for possibly being under the influence of alcohol or another substance.
