Bexar County, TX — July 20, 2025, a woman was injured in a pedestrian versus hit-and-run car accident just after 1:45 a.m. along Interstate Highway 35.
According to authorities, a 22-year-old woman had been on foot along I-35 in the vicinity north of the Nogalitos Street bridge when the accident took place.
Officials indicate that, for as yet unknown reasons, the woman was struck by a southbound Ford Edge. The Ford allegedly fled the scene, the person(s) inside failing to stop and render aid of any sort to the victim. The woman reportedly sustained serious injuries as a result of the collision. 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.

Hit-and-run crashes don’t just cause injury—they leave behind unanswered questions and a lack of accountability. When someone on foot is struck and the driver takes off, the investigation has to work even harder to close those gaps.
Did the authorities thoroughly investigate the crash?
When a pedestrian is hit and the vehicle flees, investigators should immediately be looking for physical evidence at the scene—broken mirror pieces, headlight glass, or paint transfer—that can help identify the car. In addition, canvassing nearby businesses, highway cameras, or license plate readers is critical in tracking a fleeing vehicle’s path. If those steps weren’t taken quickly, valuable evidence may have been lost.
Has anyone looked into the possibility that a vehicle defect caused the crash?
Since the striking Ford Edge reportedly left the scene, the chance to inspect it hasn’t come yet. But if the vehicle is found, mechanical issues need to be considered. Problems with headlights, brakes, or collision-avoidance systems could have made it harder for the driver to avoid the pedestrian—or even contributed to the driver losing control. A full inspection would be the only way to rule that out.
Has all the electronic data relating to the crash been collected?
Even without the Ford in hand, there are other sources of evidence worth pursuing. Highway cameras, surveillance systems, and even phone records can help piece together what happened. If the Edge is eventually recovered, its onboard event data recorder could reveal speed, braking, and steering inputs leading up to the impact. Collecting that evidence could make the difference between an unsolved hit-and-run and one that leads to accountability.
Crashes like this show how much hangs in the balance when evidence is overlooked. The truth isn’t always easy to find, but every step taken to gather it matters.
Key Takeaways:
- Scene evidence and cameras are crucial in identifying hit-and-run vehicles.
- If found, the Ford should be inspected for possible brake, headlight, or safety system failures.
- Vehicle data, surveillance footage, and phone records may hold the missing answers.
