Here are the top stories today in San Antonio:

1. A woman was bit by a dog, and the owner tried to flee the scene in a vehicle, hitting two other people in the process. The owner of the dog ran over an employee in front of his vehicle then hit another employee that was trying to stop him from leaving the parking lot. The man was arrested at a home on Gentry Creek and arrested on charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. More details can be found at KENS5.
2. San Antonio Police are investigating the death of a man found on Interstate 37. Police believe that the man was involved in a hit-and-run as a call came in to report the sighting of his body. The name of the victim is unknown but is believed to be in his 30's or 40's. This is an ongoing investigation and KSAT San Antonio may have new details as they come.
