San Antonio, TX (April 27, 2022) – A woman suffered injuries as a result of a motor vehicle accident on the South Side of San Antonio on Saturday evening, April 23. Just after 10:45 p.m., authorities were dispatched to the scene of an auto accident on Commercial Avenue.

Reports provided by authorities show that a gray car was traveling south in the 400 block of Commercial Avenue. For unknown reasons, it was rear-ended by a speeding blue sedan.

The impact of the crash caused the gray sedan to travel across the northbound lanes of the roadway and crash into a metal fence.

One woman in the vehicle sustained injuries and was transported to a local hospital for the treatment of injuries.

At this time, the incident remains under investigation.

Our thoughts are with the victim injured in this accident. We hope for her full recovery.

Car Accidents in Texas

The state of Texas is no stranger to motor vehicle accidents. In fact, one accident happens roughly every 2.5 minutes that ends in injuries. These incidents add up to more than 205,000 people left with injuries each year. Although many crashes result in minor injuries for those involved, a significant number of parties sustain severe injuries that require emergency medical care. Some of the most common contributing factors to crashes in our state include:

Speeding: We see many drivers go above the speed limits while traveling along our roadways. When drivers are traveling at high rates of speed, they are likely to lose control of their vehicles and have problems stopping in time to avoid a crash.

Distraction: We see many accidents occur due to drivers using their cell phones. In other instances, drivers are distracted by food, radios, and even their passengers. Taking your attention off the road for a moment can have severe consequences.

Impairment: Many people are involved in accidents due to drivers who are under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Driving while impaired significantly increases the chances of drivers losing control of their vehicles and causing devastating crashes. If you have been injured in an accident due to these or other acts of negligence, you may have legal options available to help you recover.
