San Antonio, TX (February 7, 2022) – At least one person was transported to a local hospital for the treatment of injuries following an auto accident on the North Side of San Antonio.

At around 1:30 a.m., on February 6, emergency crews rushed to the scene of a crash on US Highway 281.

Reports from the San Antonio Police Department show that a crash between vehicles blocked the right lanes of northbound US Highway 281. The incident caused delays in the area of Isom Road as emergency crews worked to clear the scene.

EMS rendered aid to victims briefly on-site before transporting them to area hospitals for further care.

At this time, the incident remains under investigation.

Our thoughts are with the victims injured in this accident. We hope for their full recovery.

Car Accidents in Texas

In Texas, we see our fair share of motor vehicle accidents. In fact, roughly every 2.5 minutes, someone is hurt in a traffic-related incident somewhere in our state. These accidents add up to more than 200,000 people every year. Although the majority of accidents end in minor injuries and disruptions for victims, around 15,000 people are hospitalized with severe injuries that require extensive medical care.

Although most drivers are considerate of others, we see many accidents take place due to driver errors. When vehicles follow too closely, they run the risk of not being able to stop in time to avoid a collision. Rear-end collisions account for around 29% of total collisions every year in the United States. In San Antonio, we see countless people suffer back and neck injuries, broken bones, and other severe injuries in these collisions.

When victims are hurt in collisions, they should seek the assistance of a car accident lawyer in San Antonio as soon as possible. In some cases, victims may have legal options available to help them move forward and hold negligent parties accountable for their actions.
