Hit-and-run kills two people in east San Antonio

SAN ANTONIO — Two people were hit and killed by a vehicle while they were crossing an east-side street in a designated crosswalk.

The crash happened just before midnight on Friday in the 2700 block of Rigsby Avenue, not far from Comanche Park.

San Antonio police said a vehicle was going eastbound on Rigsby when it crashed into the two victims. A female ranging from the age of 17 to 20 died at the scene, and a 17-year-old boy was taken to a hospital, but died a few minutes after getting there.

The driver took off and authorities are now searching for them. Police said there were no witnesses, so no description of the vehicle has been provided, as of now.
