Reward issued as investigators seek driver of white SUV after December 30 crash

San Antonio Crime Stoppers has announced a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to the arrest of a driver accused of fleeing after striking a woman riding a motorized scooter near the La Cantera area late last month.

The hit-and-run occurred on December 30 at about 4 p.m. in the 17500 block of La Cantera Parkway, a busy corridor serving retail, dining and entertainment destinations on the city’s Northwest Side. Police say a 37-year-old woman was riding a motorized scooter when she was hit by a white, late-model SUV that investigators believe may be a BMW. The impact threw her into the roadway, and she was injured. The SUV continued from the scene without the driver stopping to provide assistance.

Vehicle description released as public asked to help identify driver

Investigators have circulated an image of a white BMW SUV as part of the effort to generate leads. Police have not publicly confirmed a license plate number, a specific model, or whether any surveillance video has been recovered. The case remains under investigation, and authorities have not released the woman’s name or the extent of her injuries.

  • When: December 30, about 4 p.m.

  • Where: 17500 block of La Cantera Parkway

  • Suspected vehicle: white, late-model SUV, possibly a BMW

  • Victim: 37-year-old woman on a motorized scooter

How to provide information

Crime Stoppers is accepting tips anonymously by phone at 210-224-STOP (7867), online through the organization’s tip portal, and via the P3 Tips app. Under Crime Stoppers procedures, tipsters may be eligible for a cash reward if the information leads to an arrest.

Police are seeking information that could identify the driver or the vehicle involved in the crash, including details such as distinguishing features, damage, or where the SUV may have been seen after the incident.

Why the case matters

Hit-and-run investigations often depend on a combination of physical evidence, witness accounts and video from nearby businesses or passing vehicles. In heavily trafficked commercial areas like La Cantera, investigators frequently urge anyone who may have been driving through the area around the time of the crash to review dash camera footage and report relevant information, even if the details seem minor.

Authorities have not announced any arrests in connection with the incident.
