The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office (BCSO) is asking for the public’s assistance in identifying the driver and locating the vehicle involved in a fatal hit-and-run collision that occurred on Friday, August 15, 2025, at approximately 9:11 p.m. The incident took place along the southbound lanes of U.S. Highway 181 South at Adkins-Elmendorf Road in Southeast Bexar County.
Authorities report that the victim was crossing the road when she was struck by a red Jeep Wrangler. Shockingly, the driver failed to stop and render aid, fleeing the scene immediately. Despite emergency medical efforts, the victim later succumbed to her injuries at a local hospital, leaving family, friends, and the community devastated.
The suspect vehicle is described as a red Jeep Wrangler, model years 2007–2017. At this time, it is unclear whether it is a 2-door or 4-door model. Law enforcement officials believe the Jeep sustained significant front-end damage, particularly on the driver’s side, and is missing a black driver-side fender.
The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office is urging anyone with information about the vehicle, its driver, or any details regarding the crash to come forward. Witness accounts, dashcam footage, or any other tips could prove crucial in identifying the suspect and bringing them to justice.
If you have any information, contact the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office at 210-335-6000 or email BCSOTIPS@bexar.org. All tips can remain confidential.
The Sheriff’s Office stresses the seriousness of hit-and-run collisions, reminding the public that fleeing the scene of an accident, particularly one involving a fatality, is a criminal offense. Authorities are committed to locating the responsible party and ensuring accountability for this tragic incident.
Community members are encouraged to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activity involving the described vehicle to help bring closure to the victim’s family and prevent further tragedies.
