SAN ANTONIO, TX. (THECOUNT) — A family of five was rushed to the hospital Saturday night after they veered off the upper level of a highway, rolling into an embankment before skidding into a concrete wall.
Authorities said it’s unclear what caused the male driver to veer off the northbound lanes of Loop 410. San Antonio Fire Department Capt. John Flores said they don’t believe the driver experienced a medical emergency prior to the crash as he was alert and talking to first responders after the crash.
