But the concrete wall was not enough to hold back the tractor-trailer, which slammed through it and into an empty hotel pool, KSAT reported.

A 39-year-old woman was walking down the road at the time and was hospitalized in critical condition, according to CNN. Two people in the sedan were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.

The driver of the tractor-trailer hopped out uninjured, KSAT reported. San Antonio police are investigating the crash.
