A tragic accident on Saturday morning, April 20, resulted in the death of Amy O and left a man injured after their motorcycle was hit by another vehicle, according to the San Antonio Police Department (SAPD).
The incident occurred around 2 a.m. on the westbound lanes of Highway 90 near General McMullen.
Reports from SAPD indicate that a motorcycle, carrying a man and a woman, was side-swiped by another vehicle, causing both riders to be thrown off the bike and onto the highway.
The woman, identified as Amy O, was riding on the back of the motorcycle and was reportedly not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash. She suffered severe head trauma and tragically succumbed to her injuries at the scene.
The man riding the motorcycle sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was promptly taken to a local hospital. Fortunately, his condition was reported as stable by the authorities.
The deadly crash led to the closure of the westbound lanes of Highway 90, causing disruption and delays in the area as investigators worked to determine the cause of the accident and clear the scene.
This unfortunate incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of road safety measures, including wearing appropriate safety gear such as helmets.
While investigations into the crash are ongoing, it underscores the need for all road users to remain vigilant and adhere to traffic laws to prevent such tragedies from occurring.
