Trying to find out if the people involoved that were in the H2 were friends of the forum. Horrible.

Police are trying to track down the driver of a pickup truck involved in an accident that killed three women and sent another woman and a child to the hospital early Thursday morning.
"A little after one o'clock we had a hit-and-run accident where a pickup truck collided with a Humvee," said SAPD Captain James Flavin. "The Humvee spun and went over the railing of a bridge and plunged down the embankment about 30 ft or so."

The accident happened on Interstate 10 and Probandt. Five females were inside the sports utility vehicle that went into the San Antonio River. When emergency crews arrived, the Hummer was completely engulfed in flames.
A woman and a child who is about 2 years old were rescued, but the other three women died. One of those women was trapped inside the burning vehicle, according to investigators.
The rescued woman was taken to Wilford Hall Medical Center in critical condition.
And the child was airlifted to University Hospital in critical condition as well.
None of the adult victims' ages were immediately available.
"We think we have the vehicle involved in it," Captain Flavin said about an abandoned black Ford F-150 with front-end damage. The truck was found less than a half mile from the triple fatality in the 100 block of Carle.
Investigators plan to track down the owner of the truck to see who was behind the wheel around the time of the accident.
Police say, right now, it looks like the suspect will face charges of failing to stop and render aid.

I've had fawkbillies play flinch by swerving their pickup into my oncoming lane to try and freak me out. I never budge.

I hope this wasn't the case.

thats horrible. i hate that the only charges these people get is leaving the scene or failure to rendert aid or whatever. it should be involuntary manslaughter or i donno, even murder, something they'll pay dearly for. a$$holes
