Sheriff Javier Salazar said he was involved in a car crash Saturday evening that sent the other driver to the hospital, but he left the scene unharmed and was able to deliver a press conference later that same night.<\/p>\n

The accident took place at the intersection of South Pecos La Trinidad and Guadalupe Street. Salazar said he was on the access road, having just left the jail to head home.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe a vehicle ran a red light in front of me, and I T-boned them,\u201d he told reporters.<\/p>\n

The sheriff was in his county vehicle and his airbags didn\u2019t deploy. But they did deploy on the other vehicle, and a passenger was hospitalized.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn elderly woman [who] was in the passenger seat was transported, I think more as a precaution,\u201d Salazar said. \u201cI don\u2019t believe she was injured as a result of the crash, but she was experiencing some some chest pain, some anxiety, I believe, is what it was, and so EMS took her.\u201d<\/p>\n

KSAT first reported<\/a> the accident around 7:20 p.m. <\/p>\n

Salazar was speaking to the press later that night about an arrest made in connection with sexual assault of a child, and took questions about the accident at the end.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m fine,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m happy that there was an outpouring of support, people have been calling. Thankfully, I wasn\u2019t hurt in the crash.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said a traffic deputy responded to the accident. He expects his vehicle to be repaired relatively quickly. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe county is self-insured, so that\u2019s who handles that,\u201d he said. \u201cIf at some point the other driver is found to be at fault, obviously we\u2019ll file on their insurance.\u201d <\/p>\n

Salazar, one of Bexar County\u2019s most popular elected officials, was elected to a third term<\/a> in 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sheriff Javier Salazar said he was involved in a car crash Saturday evening that sent the other driver…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":769891,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5133],"tags":[5229,93259,315681,100681,7202,7203,97974,358,3187,7815,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":["post-769890","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-antonio","tag-america","tag-bexar-county-sheriff","tag-bexar-county-sheriff-javier-salazar","tag-javier-salazar","tag-san-antonio","tag-sanantonio","tag-sheriff-javier-salazar","tag-texas","tag-tx","tag-typedaily","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-usa"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116509307706677410","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/769890","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=769890"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/769890\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/769891"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=769890"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=769890"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=769890"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
