Vehicle Crash Into North Side Clothing Store
On September 21, 2025, a 61-year-old woman lost control of her vehicle and crashed through the front of a clothing store on the North Side of San Antonio near E. Basse Road.
She subsequently backed out and struck multiple vehicles in the parking lot, involving a total of three cars. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, and there was no major structural damage. Police are not filing charges against the driver.
Police Response and Community Safety Efforts
San Antonio Police Department (SAPD) continues active engagement in maintaining safety, responding promptly to incidents, and encouraging community cooperation through Crime Stoppers, which provides anonymous tips and potential rewards for information leading to felony arrests.
While violent incidents have occurred recently, official SAPD statements emphasize ongoing efforts and overall downward crime trends in key categories like homicides and crimes against persons.
