San Antonio, TX (August 21, 2025) – A serious auto accident at a southwest-side intersection in San Antonio left one person dead and another hospitalized on Wednesday evening. The crash occurred around 6 p.m. at the junction of Somerset Rd and Cassin Rd.
Emergency responders were quick to the scene, providing care to the injured victims. A preliminary investigation indicates that one of the vehicles involved ran a stop sign, striking another vehicle that subsequently rolled into a nearby creek.

He was found in the creek and transported to a local hospital, where he was later pronounced deceased. The other driver, who also sustained injuries after being ejected, was found with a leg laceration and taken to the hospital for treatment.

Dangers of Stop Sign Violations and Ejection Crashes in Texas
Accidents caused by stop sign violations are unfortunately common on both rural and city roads throughout Texas. Intersections like Somerset Rd and Cassin Rd, located in quieter southwest neighborhoods of San Antonio, may not always be well-lit or heavily monitored, increasing the risk of driver error. In cases like this one, the consequences can be devastating.
Vehicle ejections are particularly dangerous outcomes in high-impact crashes. When seat belts aren’t in use or vehicles roll over, the likelihood of ejection significantly increases, often leading to severe or fatal injuries. According to the Texas Department of Transportation, rollover accidents account for a substantial share of roadway fatalities annually, and lack of proper restraint use remains a key contributor.
Beyond the initial shock, survivors of serious crashes often face prolonged recoveries, emotional distress, and financial strain. Loved ones of those who have lost their lives may also seek answers and legal recourse.
In the wake of such incidents, families and victims are encouraged to seek guidance to understand their rights and available support options. The legal and emotional complexities can be overwhelming without the right help.
