San Antonio Police Department are looking for a driver who rolled his vehicle over a bridge on Loop 1604 and left his child behind at the scene.

The accident occurred on the North Side of San Antonio, near the Loop 1604 and Blanco Road intersection, around 10:30 p.m Sunday. According to KENS 5, a 5-year-old girl was riding in the suspect's vehicle while the child's mother followed him in another car.
