SAN ANTONIO — Several crews responded to a multi-vehicle crash on the northwest side of San Antonio on Monday afternoon.
Around 5:20 p.m., an accident happened at the intersection of Wurzbach Road and Ewing Halsell in the Medical Center area of northwest San Antonio.
The crash included a San Antonio Police cruiser, a VIAtrans van, a UPS truck, two passenger sedans and a pickup truck.
There was no immediate confirmation on the number of injuries, but people involved were seen being treated at the scene of the crash.

Two officers were in the patrol vehicle, both expected to be okay. One officer had some lacerations while the other could have some broken ribs.
