SAN ANTONIO<\/strong> \u2013 The family of a woman critically injured in a suspected hit-and-run crash<\/a> on the West Side is speaking out for the first time, pleading for answers as they navigate the uncertainty of her condition.<\/p>\n

The crash occurred just before 6 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 8, when 32-year-old Alexandra Rodriguez was struck by a vehicle in the 7900 block of West Military Drive. <\/p>\n

The San Antonio Police Department said officers found Rodriguez unresponsive on the ground with a bloody nose. A preliminary report released by SAPD on Nov. 9 noted that Rodriguez also had tire marks on her lower back, but it remains unclear how she sustained those injuries.<\/p>\n

Rodriguez, a mother of three boys, was rushed to the hospital with life-threatening injuries, police said. She was later placed in a medically induced coma, where she remains as her family anxiously waits for updates on her condition.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe suffered two skull fractures from those two skull fractures; she\u2019s now had surgery twice,\u201d said Jennifer Lummus, Rodriguez\u2019s sister.<\/p>\n

Annette Cardenas, Rodriguez\u2019s mother, described the pain of seeing her daughter in the hospital and the frustration over the hit-and-run.<\/p>\n

\u201cA young mother who\u2019s just thrown there, and you don\u2019t aid her? How long was she lying there? In the street by herself?\u201d Cardenas said.<\/p>\n

SAPD said its investigation is ongoing, but there have been no new developments in the case. Police believe the woman was hit by a vehicle, but no suspect or vehicle information has been released. <\/p>\n

With no witnesses coming forward, Cardenas and Lummus are pleading for anyone with information to help bring the responsible party to justice.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want her to just open her eyes so I can know she\u2019s not in the danger zone,\u201d Cardenas said. \u201cEvery day, it\u2019s just hard to see her just there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rodriguez\u2019s family has been left to care for her three children, ages 10 to 17. Despite the overwhelming circumstances, the family said they are doing their best to support Rodriguez\u2019s children and keep them focused on school and their future.<\/p>\n

Lummus shared the bittersweet moment when her nephew, Rodriguez\u2019s 17-year-old son, learned he was accepted to the University of the Incarnate Word but couldn\u2019t call his mother to share the news.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe calls me, and he\u2019s telling me all excited, but he tells me, \u2018Well, I can\u2019t call my mom, so I\u2019m calling you,\u2019\u201d Lummus said.<\/p>\n

The family is raising funds to help cover Rodriguez\u2019s mounting medical expenses and remains hopeful for her recovery. <\/p>\n

\u201cI love her, and she needs to fight,\u201d Cardenas said.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe needs to stay strong and not give up,\u201d Lummus added. \u201cI don\u2019t feel that this is the end of the road for her.\u201d<\/p>\n

SAPD is urging the public to reach out if they have any information that could help identify the possible driver. <\/p>\n

Despite the uncertainty, Rodriguez\u2019s family said they remain hopeful and continue to fight for justice in her name.<\/p>\n
