San Antonio, TX (November 1, 2021) – A motor vehicle accident reported in the San Antonio area left one person injured, according to local law enforcement. At around 1:20 p.m., on October 27, emergency crews were requested on-site at a crash on Eckhert Road.

Reports from authorities show that a beige 2017 Toyota was traveling too close to a green 2003 Ford in the 6000 block of Eckhert Road. As a result, the two vehicles collided.

One person involved in the accident was injured. The victim was transported to a local hospital where they underwent medical treatment and evaluation.

At this time, the incident remains under investigation.

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

Car Accidents in Texas

Every month, more than 17,100 people are left with injuries following motor vehicle accidents across our state. In many cases, victims have to go through extensive medical treatment and spend weeks off work to recover. Dealing with painful injuries is not something that most people are prepared to do. Dealing with the financial consequences that come with treating injuries can be downright devastating.

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 take place due to drivers who are 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 sustained injuries as a result of a rear-end collision, a sideswipe crash, or another type of crash, it is crucial that you first consult with a responsive legal team before reaching out to an insurance company. Reaching out to a San Antonio car accident lawyer at your earliest convenience can help to ensure you are able to get the justice you deserve.
