SAN ANTONIO – Tragedy struck along Southwest Loop 410 as a woman lost her life in a horrific crash that shook the community. The incident, which unfolded around 6:45 p.m. on a fateful Friday evening, left many in shock and mourning.
Reports from San Antonio police indicate that the victim, a 40-year-old woman, had run out of gas and was forced to pull over on the right shoulder of the 4900 block of Southwest Loop 410 southbound near New Valley Hi Drive. Little did she know that this decision would have fatal consequences.
As the woman exited her vehicle, tragedy struck in the form of a Toyota Tundra driven by the suspect, Juan Rabago. According to authorities, the Tundra crossed the solid white line on the interstate and fatally struck the unsuspecting victim.
