71-Year-Old Woman Identified as Victim in Fatal Alamo Ranch Parkway Crash

SAN ANTONIO, TX — The Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office has identified the victim of Wednesday’s deadly crash on Alamo Ranch Parkway as 71-year-old Patricia Browning. The tragic collision, which occurred around 12:29 p.m. on April 23, 2025, in the 11700 block of Alamo Ranch Parkway, claimed her life and left the community in mourning.

According to the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office, emergency crews were dispatched to the scene following reports of a major two-vehicle crash. Upon arrival, they found Browning critically injured. First responders immediately initiated life-saving measures, including CPR, at the scene. She was later pronounced dead despite the efforts of paramedics.

Preliminary details about the incident remain under investigation. It is unclear what led to the crash, and no further information has been released about the other driver involved. One individual was reportedly transported to a nearby hospital, but their condition has not been disclosed.

The westbound lanes of Alamo Ranch Parkway were shut down temporarily from Lone Star Parkway to allow emergency personnel and investigators to secure the area and collect evidence. Traffic in the area was backed up for several hours as the crash site was processed.

Residents in the area expressed shock and sadness upon hearing the news. Many described the intersection as a busy stretch that often sees heavy traffic. “It’s just heartbreaking,” said one local witness. “That road can be so dangerous, and now someone’s grandmother or mother is gone.”

Patricia Browning was a longtime San Antonio resident, and neighbors who knew her remember her as a kind, gentle woman who loved gardening and spending time with her grandchildren.

The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office is urging anyone who may have witnessed the crash or who has dashcam footage from the area during the time of the incident to contact investigators. Authorities are working to determine whether speed, distraction, or any other factors contributed to the deadly crash.

“This is a devastating loss, and our thoughts are with the Browning family as they grieve,” a Sheriff’s Office spokesperson said Thursday.

This fatal crash serves as a sobering reminder of the importance of road safety and caution at all times. The investigation remains ongoing, and additional updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
