One person is dead after a car struck a pole during what police are investigating as a street racing accident Monday night on the West Side.
San Antonio Police Department Sgt. Anastacio Hernandez said the car was traveling northbound on West Military Drive when the vehicle spun out of control, striking a pole at the Timbercreek intersection.

The driver was found dead in his seat when police arrived at about 8:30 p.m., Hernandez said.
The impact ejected a passenger, who was taken to University Hospital in unknown condition, he said.
Police could not release any other identifying information about the driver.
The collision took out a wooden pole and CPS had to cut power to the intersection for a short time.
Hernandez said they are now searching for a white BMW, that witnesses said was racing the car.
Passerby Daniel Adams, 31, was driving home when he saw police at the accident scene.
He said he often sees accidents at the intersection, noting he saw a pole on the other side also brought down during a wreck about a month ago.
“Especially at this intersection. Maybe it’s because of the curbs or what,” Adams said.
