SAN ANTONIO — A woman is in the hospital after getting out of her car to check the damage on her vehicle following an accident, and getting struck by a vehicle that didn't stop.
It happened around 3:05 a.m. early Monday morning on the I-35 access road at Dinn Drive on the northeast side of town.
Police say a woman in her 30s was driving on the access road when she swerved to avoid hitting a woman on a bicycle. She then reportedly lost control and slammed into the guardrail and the highway concrete divider.
The woman got out of her vehicle to check the damage on her car when she was struck by a driver in a silver sedan, who did not stop.
The woman was taken to BAMC in stable condition. Police closed the northbound access road between Rittiman and Eisenhauer Road while they investigated the incident.
No other injuries were reported and no other details were provided.
Police are searching for the vehicle that hit the woman.
