Jolie Ann Pescina Obituary, Death – Authorities in Bexar County have formally identified the young woman who lost her life in a single-vehicle crash earlier this week after her car veered off the roadway and plunged into Leon Creek. The Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed that 21-year-old Jolie Ann Pescina died on Tuesday, attributing her death to blunt force injuries sustained in the crash.
The incident occurred Tuesday evening along the eastbound lanes of SW Loop 410, a busy stretch of highway on San Antonio’s southwest side. According to information released by the San Antonio Police Department (SAPD), Pescina had been traveling eastbound when she unexpectedly lost control of her vehicle. What caused the loss of control has not yet been determined, but investigators say her car left the roadway and ultimately ended up in Leon Creek.
Police were dispatched to the scene shortly before 7 p.m., after receiving emergency calls reporting a vehicle that had gone off the highway. Responding officers arrived at the 12300 block of SW Loop 410 and quickly located the car in the creek area. When they reached the vehicle, they discovered Pescina inside. She was unresponsive, and officials soon confirmed that she had passed away before help could arrive.
Authorities noted that there were no signs that any other cars were involved in the incident. The crash appears to have been a single-vehicle event, though investigators have not ruled out contributing factors such as road conditions, speed, mechanical issues, or a possible medical emergency. Because of the open investigation, officials have not provided further details about the moments leading up to the crash.
The medical examiner’s office stated that a full autopsy report has not yet been completed and will not be released until all aspects of the case are finalized. This includes toxicology testing and a closer examination of injuries, both of which may offer additional insight into what happened in the minutes before the vehicle entered the creek. Such reports can take several weeks, especially when investigators are still gathering information.
Meanwhile, SAPD officers continue to analyze evidence from the scene. Standard investigative procedures in cases like this often include examining skid marks, reviewing surveillance footage from nearby cameras, recreating the vehicle’s path, and speaking with any potential witnesses who may have seen the car moments before it left the roadway. Investigators may also evaluate weather conditions from that evening, though initial reports did not indicate any severe weather at the time of the crash.
The area around Leon Creek has been the site of previous vehicle-related incidents due to its proximity to major highways and varying terrain. Emergency responders had to navigate the embankment and creek access points carefully to reach the vehicle and safely assess the scene.
Friends and family of Pescina are now left grieving the sudden loss of a young woman whose life was unexpectedly cut short. While police have not released personal details about her, the news of her death has prompted expressions of sympathy within the community, particularly among those familiar with the challenges of navigating the Loop 410 corridor.
As authorities work to determine the complete sequence of events, SAPD encourages anyone who may have been traveling along SW Loop 410 around the time of the crash and who might have seen something unusual to come forward. Even small details, they say, could help clarify what caused Pescina’s vehicle to veer off the road.
The investigation remains active, and more information will be provided as officials continue their work and the autopsy report becomes available.
