SAN ANTONIO<\/strong> \u2013 A 12-year-old boy involved in a two-vehicle crash<\/a> on the West Side has died, the San Antonio Police Department said. <\/p>\n

Officers responded to the scene after several calls were made about a crash just after 6:30 p.m. Tuesday at the intersection of North Elmendorf Street and Culebra Road.<\/p>\n

Witnesses told the officers that two vehicles, a sedan and a truck, were racing, according to an SAPD preliminary report on Wednesday. <\/p>\n

The sedan was occupied by a 20-year-old man and his 12-year-old nephew, officers told KSAT at the scene. <\/p>\n

The 20-year-old man lost control of the sedan at some point and crashed into another vehicle while heading westbound on Culebra Road, the report said. <\/p>\n

The nephew was pronounced dead at the scene. The 20-year-old man was hospitalized and could face racing on highway causing serious bodily injury or death charges, police said. <\/p>\n

Police did not mention the 20-year-old man\u2019s condition in the report, though officers at the scene said he was unconscious when he was taken to the hospital. <\/p>\n
