The driver of a Chevrolet Tahoe was killed and two passengers were injured in an early morning collision in east Bexar County, authorities said.
The wreck, about 12:20 a.m. in the 4100 block of East Loop 1604, occurred after the SUV swerved to avoid a vehicle and rolled over. The Tahoe's passengers told Bexar County sheriff’s deputies that the SUV was traveling south when a northbound vehicle traveled into the wrong lane.
“The operator of the Tahoe took evasive action (to) slide off the roadway and lost control of the vehicle,” deputies said in a press release.
The Tahoe landed on its roof, trapping the driver, Clinton Lefler, of San Antonio. Emergency responders used tools to cut the male and female passenger out of the vehicle. Lefler was pronounced dead at the scene.
The northbound vehicle did not stop, and there was no description, authorities said.
The female passenger was transported by helicopter to University Hospital. The male passenger was transported by ambulance to Brooke Army Medical Center.
