69-Year-Old Eligio Vasquez Killed in San Marcos Pedestrian Accident on S. Guadalupe Street

San Marcos, Texas (March 2, 2020) – A man was killed early Saturday morning in a hit-and-run accident in San Marcos, according to the police.

The accident happened around 1:27 a.m. February 29, in the 200 block of S. Guadalupe Street.

Police said they received a call about a man lying on the street. They responded and found Eligio Vasquez, 69, of San Antonio, who was not breathing. 

Officers began performing CPR on Vasquez, and first responders continued with the CPR until Vasquez got his pulse back.

Vasquez was taken to Seton-Hays in Kyle, where he later died.

The vehicle that struck Vasquez fled the scene, but police found pieces of the vehicle at the scene. Still photos were obtained from nearby security cameras.

The authorities are looking for an older model red pickup truck that could possibly be an extended cab Chevy S-10 with a missing wire radio antenna on the right side of the hood. The vehicle should also have minor damage to the front side, including the missing antenna. It was last seen heading southbound on South Guadalupe Street.
