SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio police said that a driver shot themselves in the head before crashing into a West Side residence early Thursday morning.
The shooting and crash happened at approximately 1:40 a.m. in the 9100 block of Adams Hill Drive, which is located west of Hunt Lane and north of U.S. Highway 90.
According to an SAPD preliminary report, officers found the driver with an apparent gunshot wound to the head.
The driver was pronounced dead at the scene. No other injuries were reported.
KSAT spoke with the homeowner, who declined an on-camera interview, later Thursday morning.
She told KSAT that the driver collided with two vehicles in her carport.
One of her two cars, an SUV, damaged her home. The second car was pushed into a metal pole under the carport.
The homeowner also told KSAT she typically sleeps in the room that was damaged in the crash. However, for an unknown reason, the woman slept in a different room last night.
