Nicholas Ruiz Seriously Injured in San Antonio Pedestrian Accident on San Pedro Avenue

San Antonio, Texas (November 25, 2020) – The man who was seriously injured in a hit-and-run crash last month in San Antonio has been identified as Nicholas Ruiz, 23, according to police.

The accident happened around 9:00 p.m., October 19, on San Pedro Avenue.

Police said Ruiz was attempting to cross the highway when he was struck by a vehicle driven by Antonio Coronado, 20.

Ruiz was taken to the hospital with serious injuries, including two broken legs, a broken knee, a broken pelvis, a broken clavicle, a brain bleed, and severe trauma. He has undergone several surgeries and is still in the ICU.

Coronado left the scene after the accident and called his mother, who called the authorities and confessed that her son committed the crime.

Coronado was arrested for failure to stop and render aid. He was released after posting a $4,000 bond a day after he was arrested.
