The San Antonio Police Department says the crash happened around 7:30 p.m. near Frost Bank Center Drive. There were nine people in the SUV, two adults and seven children, only one of which was wearing a seatbelt.

The driver of the vehicle now faces child endangerment charges.

The youngest child in the SUV was two years old, the oldest 11.
