SAN ANTONIO — Four people were taken to University Hospital Friday night, including an infant less than 1-year-old, after a multi-vehicle crash on the south side.
The San Antonio Police Department said it started when a minor crash involving two pickup trucks occurred at the intersection of Zarzamora Street and Interstate 35. One of the drivers in that crash attempted to drive away, so the other driver began chasing them.
The driver who was attempting to get away, driving a Dodge, rear-ended a black Honda Element. The Element spun out as a result of the collision. It crashed head-on into an EMS unit near Zarzamora and Gaddis which was responding to an accident.
Two paramedics in that ambulance were hospitalized, but not seriously injured.
The driver of the Element, a woman, was also hospitalized and is in serious condition, police said. The baby who was in the vehicle isn't believed to have been seriously injured, but was taken to University Hospital as a precaution.
The driver of the Dodge truck attempted to speed away following the second crash, but lost control, and crashed into a fence into someone's backyard. His identity has not been reported, but he is facing charges; Driving While Intoxicated and Reckless Driving.
