Bexar County, TX — December 25, 2025, a pedestrian was injured due to a hit-and-run accident at approximately 9:00 p.m. along Losoya Street.
According to authorities, a 34-year-old woman was on foot in the vicinity of the Losoya Street and Crockett Street intersection when the accident took place.
Officials indicate that, for as yet unknown reasons, a southbound Polaris Slingshot (a three-wheeled motorcycle) failed to safely maintain its lane of travel, leading to a collision between the Slingshot and the pedestrian. The Slingshot purportedly fled the scene, the two people inside failing to stop and render aid to the victim. The vehicle has apparently been located, though reports are unclear about whether or not the occupants have as well.
The pedestrian reportedly sustained serious injuries as a result of the accident. Additional details pertaining to this incident—including the identity of the victim—are not available at this point in time. The investigation is currently ongoing.
Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman
After hit-and-run incidents, early reports often focus on the fact that the driver left the scene. But when someone on foot is seriously injured, the more important issue is whether enough was done to understand how the collision happened in the first place.
Was the crash thoroughly investigated?
In a pedestrian hit-and-run, investigators should look well beyond where the injured person was found. A careful investigation examines how the vehicle was moving before the collision, whether it drifted or suddenly changed position, and how much time the operator had to react. That can include mapping the vehicle’s path, reviewing damage patterns, and analyzing debris or skid evidence. The depth of this work often depends on the training and experience of the responding officers. Some are skilled at reconstructing pedestrian crashes involving unconventional vehicles, while others may conduct only a basic review. In cases with serious injuries, those differences matter.
Has anyone looked into a possible vehicle defect?
When a three-wheeled vehicle fails to maintain its lane, mechanical or system issues should be considered. Steering components, brake performance, throttle response, and stability-related systems all deserve close inspection. Vehicles like these rely heavily on proper balance and control, and even minor mechanical problems can have serious consequences. If a defect played a role, it may not be obvious without a thorough mechanical review, especially after the vehicle has left the scene and later been recovered.
Was all available electronic data collected?
Electronic evidence can be especially important in hit-and-run cases. Vehicle data may show speed, braking, or steering input before the collision. Phone data can help clarify whether distraction was a factor, and nearby cameras may help confirm timing, movement, or the identities of those involved. This information is time-sensitive. If it is not preserved early, it can be lost, leaving key questions unanswered.
When a pedestrian is seriously injured and the driver does not stop, careful questions matter. A thorough investigation, close inspection of the vehicle, and full collection of electronic data help move the case beyond assumptions and toward a clearer understanding of what occurred.
Key Takeaways:
- Hit-and-run pedestrian crashes require detailed reconstruction, even when the vehicle is later found.
- Mechanical or system issues can contribute to loss of control without obvious signs.
- Electronic data can be critical in understanding how the collision unfolded.
