Yesterday, during routine patrol, Precinct 1 Deputy D. Ramos observed a vehicle traveling northbound on IH-35 that struck the trailer of an 18-wheeler. As a result of the impact, the vehicle sustained a blown tire and visible damage. The deputy attempted to initiate a traffic stop; however, the driver failed to yield. After a few minutes of attempting to stop the driver, additional agencies became involved.
With assistance from SAPD and Bexar County Precinct 4, they were able to safely bring the vehicle to a stop, preventing potential injury to the driver and others on the roadway. It was later determined that multiple calls had been received regarding the vehicle driving recklessly.
Further investigation indicated the driver may have been experiencing a medical episode. The individual was transported by EMS for medical evaluation.
Thanks to the coordinated efforts and cooperation of all agencies involved, the situation was resolved safely without major incident. Excellent work by all agencies.
