San Antonio, TX (September 9, 2025) – A 34-year-old man sustained multiple injuries in a motor vehicle accident Monday afternoon near E Southcross in San Antonio, according to reports from Bexar County Fire and EMS. The crash occurred shortly before 3:33 p.m., prompting a rapid response from paramedics and nearby emergency units.
First responders, including EMS and fire crews, evaluated the injured man on the scene. He was found with a bulging scalp wound approximately two inches in length on the left side of his head, as well as a hematoma on his forehead. In addition to these head injuries, he also suffered road rash on his shoulder and showed abnormal vital signs at the time of evaluation.
Medical personnel reported fluctuating heart rates between 100 and 114, and a blood pressure reading of 150/92. His pupils were reactive but sluggish, and he showed signs of being alert and oriented despite his injuries. Given the nature of his wounds and unstable vitals, the man was transported to a nearby medical facility for advanced care.

Injury Collisions in Texas
Vehicle accidents involving serious injuries—like the one reported near E Southcross—highlight the physical and emotional toll of traffic crashes in urban areas like San Antonio. The injuries reported in Monday’s collision, including head trauma and road rash, are consistent with high-impact collisions or incidents involving ejection or contact with rough surfaces, often associated with failure to wear restraints or sudden forceful movement inside the vehicle.
Roads like E Southcross serve as vital east-west connectors in the city and often see a mix of local and through traffic, making them prone to accidents during peak hours. When collisions occur in these areas, the chances of significant injury are higher due to traffic volume and the nature of the infrastructure, which includes sharp turns, limited shoulders, and multiple intersecting streets.
The presence of abnormal vital signs and neurological indicators such as sluggish pupils suggests that this victim may face an extended medical recovery, including monitoring for traumatic brain injury or internal complications. Timely and professional EMS care is critical in such cases, as early intervention often determines the long-term outcome.
Beyond the immediate injuries, victims often face extended time off work, follow-up treatments, and emotional distress—all of which can compound the disruption caused by the crash itself. In such scenarios, documentation of the event and understanding one’s legal rights becomes just as important as receiving quality medical care.
San Antonio residents should take note of the importance of defensive driving and awareness in congested parts of the city. As traffic density increases, so does the need for caution and preparation—both behind the wheel and in the event of an emergency.
