Two children were injured in a three-vehicle crash Saturday afternoon, according to the San Antonio Police Department, which closed northbound U.S. Highway 281 near Bitters Road.
Police said a vehicle traveling on the frontage road entered the highway around 3:20 p.m. and struck a black pickup truck, sending it spinning. The truck was then hit by another vehicle, causing it to roll over and ejecting two children.
A 15-year-old’s ankle was broken, police said, and an 11-year-old was transported to the hospital with unspecified life-threatening injuries. The 11-year-old’s condition has since improved to non-life-threatening.
The driver of the pickup was also transported to the hospital as a precaution, police said.
The driver of the vehicle that initiated the crash remained on scene and was cooperating with investigators, SAPD said.
The highway reopened to all lanes of traffic around 6 p.m. Saturday.
