San Antonio, TX (October 7, 2021) – A young child has been hospitalized following a motor vehicle accident in the San Antonio area late Wednesday evening, October 6.

Reports from the San Antonio Police Department show that a drunk driver was driving a 2009 Volkswagen in the 600 block of Wyn dale Street. For unknown reasons, the vehicle jumped over a curb and crashed into a home on the roadway near the area of Dale wood Place.

A girl inside the home, identified as a 3-year-old, was struck by the vehicle as she slept in the home.

The girl sustained injuries in the accident and was transported to University Hospital for care.

At this time, the incident remains under investigation.

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

Pedestrian Accidents in San Antonio, Texas

Nearly every 2.5 minutes, someone is injured in a motor vehicle accident somewhere in the state of Texas. These accidents happen far too often, causing overwhelming pain and suffering for those involved.

When pedestrians are involved in accidents, the chances of dealing with severe and life-threatening injuries are drastically increased. Pedestrians do not have steel-framed wrapped around them for protection. As a result, they are likely to suffer head trauma, broken bones, and other injuries that require extensive medical care. When child pedestrians are involved in accidents, they are at an even greater risk of suffering life-altering injuries. Consoling an injured child is one of the most challenging things parents will ever have to do. There is truly no way to explain to young children why they were hurt by a negligent driver.
