San Antonio, TX (November 30, 2021) – At least one person was hospitalized as a result of a motor vehicle accident in the San Antonio area. At around 12:50 p.m., on November 30, emergency crews were notified that their assistance was needed on-site at a crash on Wilderness Oak.

Reports from the San Antonio Police Department show that a crash between vehicles blocked Wilderness Oak in the area near Hardy Oak Boulevard for an extended period. Police and firefighters closed off a portion of the intersection as they worked to clear the scene.

Medics treated victims at the scene before transporting those in need of further care to area hospitals.

At this time, the incident remains under investigation.

Our thoughts are with the victims who were 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.
